FRSC Begins Ember Month Safety Campaign

The Rivers State Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has commenced its sensitisation campaign on safe driving in “ember months.
Public Enlightenment and Education Officer of the command, Juliana Enyi said though the campaign would officially be launched by November, already the the agency has commenced enforcement and campaign.
She said, “What we son during the ember month safety campaign is to let drivers know that this period is just like any period of the year. Drivers need to accommodate other road users, so that the road will be safe.”
Enyi said over the past years the campaign had yielded results as road carnage had reduced hugely within the state.
However, she noted that the major challenge of the agency was logistics in covering all parts of the state, “Rivers State is big and there is not much vehicles and logistics to reach all parts.”
It’s against this backdrop that she disclosed that the commission unveiled a toll free emergency numbers to help drivers and members of the public that would be facing vehicular challenge on the road.
“The numbers are and once you call us from any part of the state we will be there to tow your vehicle” Enyi said.
Meanwhile, the State FRSC says it will officially launch its mber month’s safety campaign in November,” we have already enforcing the rules, but we will pick a date and venue for the event.
The campaign is expected to last for four months between September and January.
