The Bauchi state government has called for active collaboration with the State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to reduce accidents and road traffic violation.
Governor Bala Mohammed made the call while granting audience to the Bauchi State sector commander of the FRSC, Patrick Ikaba, at Government House, Bauchi yesterday.
Mohammed who expressed concern over the spate of accidents in highways across the state said the collaboration would enhance operations of the State Road Traffic Management Agency (BAROTA) to ensure safety of road users.
According to the governor, under the arrangement, personnel of the FRSC would actively work with BAROTA in controlling illegal business operations which often cause difficulties for motorists passing through busy weekly markets across the state.
He assured of the state government’s commitment to provide all the needed support that would facilitate smooth running of their activities.
Earlier, the sector commander who said he was at the Government House on a familiarisation visit informed the governor that already, the corps had introduced new operations aimed at decongesting markets and some busy areas.
