The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has congratulated the Muslim Ummah on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Corps Marshal commended Muslim faithful for their devotion, discipline, and spiritual commitment throughout the holy month. He urged them to sustain the virtues of love, patience, selflessness, and peaceful coexistence beyond the Ramadan period.
Mohammed emphasised that the values of restraint, sacrifice, and care for others are essential to promoting safety on Nigerian roads, noting that many road traffic crashes are preventable when road users exercise patience and consideration.
He called on motorists, pedestrians, and other road users to apply these lessons during the festive period by obeying traffic regulations, avoiding dangerous driving, and prioritising the safety of lives and property.
While wishing Muslims a peaceful and joyous celebration, the FRSC boss reaffirmed the commitment of the Federal Road Safety Corps to safer roads through sustained patrols, strategic deployment of personnel, and collaboration with relevant stakeholders nationwide.
He also urged members of the public to support the Corps’ efforts by promptly reporting road crashes and emergencies through the FRSC toll-free line 122 and the National Traffic Radio platforms for timely response and lifesaving interventions.
The Corps Marshal further encouraged Nigerians to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr to promote unity, national harmony, and collective responsibility towards building a safer road environment.
