The Katsina State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has stressed the need for passengers to speak up against dangerous driving while on transit as only the living can celebrate.
The FRSC Sector Commander, Aliyu Ma’aji, stated this at a Special Marshals and Ember Months Campaign at the Katsina State Transport Authority, KTSTA, terminal, on Friday in Katsina.
He said the sensitisation centered on the 2024 Ember Months Campaign themed: “Speak Up Against Dangerous Driving: Road Traffic Crash Kills More Passengers Than Drivers”.
Ma’aji advised drivers to always adhere to the traffic rules and regulations, drawing the attention of the passengers to always exercise their rights by speaking up against any recalcitrant driver while on transit.
According to him, the command had organised a series of activities to ensure the reduction of road traffic crashes, RTCs, during the yuletide and beyond.
Ma’aji further stated that the activities included public awareness at motor parks, Mosques, Churches, markets and other public places.
He commended the state government for the good road network across the state, which he said, would also go a long way in reducing road accidents.
