According to the statement, the Corps Marshal used the opportunity to review the entire processes and activities of the Corps and urged the staff not to rest on their oars. He expressed satisfaction with the general conduct of the staff and output across the country despite conceding that there were some setbacks in the special patrol exercise.
Dr Oyeyem warned Road Users who violet traffic rules to desist from such unsafe behavior as the road does not forgive. He gave an overview of the global road safety campaign under the auspices of the UN Decade of Action For Road Safety: 2011-2020, stating that the campaign would expire at the end of this year and would transit to another decade of campaign from 2020-2030.
The Corps Marshal applauded President Muhammadu Buhari, and the National Executive Council for approving the reviewed Nigeria Road Safety Strategy NRSS for the Decade of Action road map. The document, he noted, will facilitate the entrenchment of safer roads, safer road users, safer vehicles, enhanced post-crash care among others. The NRSS according to him, is an important, noble and timely intervention which supports the process of entrenching the culture of safe use of Nigerian roads.
