Delta Presents Vehicles To FRSC
In its bid to enhance the effectiveness of the Federal Road Safety Commission, (FRSC) the Delta Governmenthas presented three operational vehicles to
the state command of FRSC. Presenting the vehicles, Gov. Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta, said that the vehicles were in fulfilment of the state government’s promise to assist the FRSC.
Uduaghan, represented by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Mr Ovuozuorie Macauley, also said that the gesture was an indication of government’s policy of cooperation with Federal Government agencies.
He explained that the government was aware of the traffic challenge in the state, adding that much as road crashes could not be avoided, it could be reduced.
“We want a situation, where the FRSC can respond to calls about accidents within the shortest possible time, because in Delta we don’t want to lose lives.
“We are giving them these vehicles to improve their activities in the state so that in the shortest
possible time the state can be counted as one of the states with the least number of road crashes.
Responding, Mr Luka Ikpi, Sector Commander of the FRSC in Delta, said that the gesture had challenged the command to do more in terms of traffic control and ensuring reduced road crashes in the state.
He urged the Delta Government not to hesitate in calling the FRSC in the state to order if found lacking in their designated responsibilities.
He promised that the commission would not relent in its efforts to provide good services.
Ikpi also said that the major challenge on vehicular movement along the Onitsha-Asaba
expressway was from the Delta axis, as most of the vehicles on that road were articulated vehicles.
He said that there was the need to control the inflow and movements of such vehicles at the Niger Bridge Head, adding that the collapse of the bridge would affect the state socially, economically and politically.
