Road Safety Corps Launches Campaign To Reduce Accident During Festive Periods

As 2015 runs through the ember months, Kwara State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps has charged the general public not to differentiate the last four months of the year from the other months. While speaking at the launch of the ember months campaign in Ilorin, the leadership of the corps reiterates its readiness to make roads safer for Nigerians during the period when statistics show that road users increase than other months in the year.
With 2015 gradually running out, the months of September through December otherwise called ember months is always known for an upsurge in activities and for relevant agencies like the federal road safety corps, more accidents are likely to be recorded in this period thus the need for sensitisation and orientation. While launching this year’s ember months safety campaign, the Kwara State Sector Commander, Sunday Maku, notes that in ember months , there is more movement of people and increase of road usage across the country, which may lead to users pushing the boundaries leading to reckless driving which accounts for a greater percentage of accidents recorded during these months.
