The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Kano Command has launched a proactive sensitisation campaign targeting drivers and transport unions to promote road safety ahead of the Sallah festivities.
The exercise followed a directive from the FRSC Headquarters for a nationwide public enlightenment campaign aimed at ensuring safer roads during the festive period.
The Kano Sector Commander, Idris Mohammed-Lawal, said the exercise was designed to create awareness on road safety, promote responsible driving behaviour and ensure a crash-free Sallah celebration in Kano State.
He said the campaign aligns with the Corps’ 2026 strategic goal of renewed commitment, professionalism and improved service delivery introduced by the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed.
“As part of the sensitisation exercise, we visited the Kano Line Motor Park along the Kano–Zaria Road to address members of transport unions, drivers and passengers,” he said.
Mohammed-Lawal urged drivers to avoid overloading, shun speeding and reckless driving, and comply with traffic rules and regulations to prevent road crashes during the festive period.
Earlier, Auwal Kano-Line, an official of the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), who spoke on behalf of transport unions, drivers and passengers, commended the corps for the sensitisation.
He pledged that members of the union would adhere to traffic regulations to ensure a crash-free Sallah celebration.
