Abimbola Abatta, Osogbo

The Zonal Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Mr Emmanuel Abe, has warned officers in the zone against any form of indiscipline and corrupt practices, stressing that anyone caught for misconduct would be sanctioned or even dismissed.

Mr Abe equally enjoined personnel in Osun, Oyo, and Ondo States to be professional in the discharge of their duties by being good ambassadors of the corps by taking the command to enviable heights.

He also tasked motorists on the use of face masks and compliance with all COVID-19 protocols.

The FRSC Zonal commander gave the charge on Tuesday during a familiarisation visit to the Osun Sector Command of the corps in Osogbo.

Abe noted that the commands under the zone will continue to intensify efforts towards ensuring that road users adhere strictly to the COVID -19 protocols to minimise the spread of the deadly disease.

In his words, “Our men have been working assiduously with various security agencies saddled with the responsibilities of enforcing strict compliance on the usage of face mask and social distancing.

“We have been partnering with some key stakeholders especially the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

“The zonal command will continue to engage transportation stakeholders through its enlightenment policies, campaigns and also strengthen its enforcement policies.”

He also commended the efforts of the Osun Sector Commander, Mrs Kudirat Ibrahim, in the area of discipline and her tireless effort towards ensuring that accidents were minimised in the state.

Earlier in her welcome address, Ibrahim thanked the new zonal commander for the confidence reposed in her and promised to strengthen the operational tactics of the command.
