The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has commended the high quality roads being constructed by the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo in Anambra State, saying it would help to reduce incidences of accident in the state
This is coming as the Governor, Prof. Soludo has so far awarded over four hundred kilometres of road constructions across the three senatorial districts of the state in less than two years on the saddle as Chief Executive Officer of the state.
Speaking while flagging off the 2023 Ember Months Safety Campaign which held in Onitsha Friday, the FRSC Sector Commander, Anambra, Mr Adeoye Irelewuyi said the road projects would aid road safety and reduce mishaps to its barest minimum in Anambra State.
The theme of the campaign was– ‘Speed Thrills But Kills, Drive Responsibly and Avoid Overloading’.
The Sector Commander revealed that one of the things that make people go above the speed limit is when they are delayed due to bad roads, saying that when the roads are bad, motorists encounter delay in travel time.
“If the roads are good, people can plan their travel and there will be no need to over speed”.
He commended Governor Soludo who he stressed had diligently embarked on fixing the roads across the state.
“I believe that the road construction and rehabilitation are efforts and support for road safety because they will help to curb speed violation and crashes on our roads,”he added.
Speaking, the Commissioner for Transportation, Barr. Patricia Igwebuike, said Governor Soludo maintained that road safety is a collective effort involving the government and road users.
