The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recorded zero road traffic crashes involving articulated vehicles along the Kugbo outbound corridor in Abuja, following the launch of its enforcement exercise tagged “Operation Safe Kugbo.”
The Corps Public Education Officer, Osondu Ohaeri, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, noting that the operation, which commenced on March 18, 2026, has also led to the restriction of no fewer than 858 articulated vehicles and trucks from operating along the corridor during peak traffic hours.
According to him, the achievement marks a significant milestone in the Corps’ efforts to enhance road safety and reduce accidents involving heavy-duty vehicles within the Federal Capital Territory.
The initiative, driven under the leadership of the Corps Marshal, is anchored on the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations (NRTR), particularly Section 223, as well as existing FCT Traffic Regulations.
FRSC noted that the enforcement aligns with its 2026 Corporate Strategic Goal 1, which focuses on drastically reducing road traffic crashes and improving safety outcomes nationwide.
At the operational level, the Unit Commander of RS7.13 Nyanya, CRC WF Luka, has been leading enforcement efforts through targeted patrols, strategic deployment of personnel, and real-time traffic management during peak periods.
The Corps stressed that the operation remains ongoing, with intensified monitoring and enforcement aimed at sustaining the current gains. It described the zero-crash record along the Kugbo corridor as a strong validation of the effectiveness of restricting heavy-duty vehicles during high-traffic periods.
Motorists, fleet operators, and truck drivers have been urged to comply fully with the restriction order, as the FRSC reiterated its commitment to safeguarding lives and ensuring safer roads across Abuja and beyond.
