Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says many residents of the FCT use economic hardship as excuse to engage in acts that undermine public safety.

FRSC FCT Sector Commander, Sunday Oghenekaro, cited the refusal of people to use pedestrian bridges, boarding or alighting from vehicles at designated bus stops as offences committed by residence.

These prevalent acts in the FCT, according to him, are indications that the people have lost their sense of value for human lives.

He dismissed the impression that the situation showed a failure on the part of the FRSC to enforce relevant road traffic laws in the territory.

The sector commander said the Corps was expanding its sensitisation campaigns to worship centres, especially Churches and Mosques.

“We are going to the ministries, departments and agencies of government because the people guilty of these are the working class, traders and businessmen,’’ he said.
