FRSC Intensifies Ember Months Safety Campaign In Anambra
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Anambra State Sector Command, has intensified its road safety advocacy across markets and major motor parks in the state as part of efforts to prevent road traffic crashes during the 2026 Ember Months.
The campaign, led by the Sector Commander, Corps Commander Bridget Asekhauno, focused on promoting responsible road use and improving compliance with traffic regulations among motorists, transport operators, traders, passengers and other road users.
During visits to Eke and Amawbia markets, the FRSC team urged road users to exercise caution, maintain lane discipline and prioritise safety. Commercial drivers and transport operators were advised to avoid speeding, dangerous overtaking, route violations, distracted driving and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The team also engaged market executives on the importance of using designated pedestrian crossings, avoiding roadside trading and preventing indiscriminate parking, particularly in areas with heavy vehicular and pedestrian movement.
In a statement issued by the Sector Public Education Officer, Margaret Onabe, the command disclosed that its advocacy team visited several motor parks across the state to sensitise drivers and transport stakeholders on the need to ensure that vehicles are roadworthy before embarking on journeys.
The FRSC specifically emphasised the importance of regular inspections of critical vehicle components, including brakes, tyres, lights and wipers, to minimise the risk of mechanical failures and prevent avoidable crashes.
The command further appealed to members of the public to support its efforts towards creating a safer motoring environment in Anambra State and Nigeria at large.
According to the statement, the Anambra State Sector Command remains committed to continuous stakeholder engagement, public enlightenment and proactive interventions in line with the FRSC’s mandate and its 2026 Corporate Strategic Goal of reducing road traffic fatalities and injuries.
The Corps also reminded members of the public that its toll-free emergency number, 122, is available for reporting road emergencies and seeking assistance.
