The Federal Capital Territory Administration, in collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps and other sister agencies, has commenced a sustained special enforcement operation against traffic light violations, driving against traffic and other road offences across Abuja.
The Mandate Secretary, FCTA Transportation Secretariat, Mr Chinedum Elechi, disclosed this on Thursday during a special joint intervention press conference in Abuja, Nigeria’s Capital.
The Secretary, who said that a task force to that effect will start patrols and arrest perpetrators added that offenders would face the full weight of the law.
Elechi said the enforcement exercise was necessitated by increasing disregard for traffic rules by some motorists, particularly following the expansion of the FCT road network under the urban renewal programme of the administration of the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike.
He said the FCTA was particularly pleased with the collaboration with the FCT Sector Command of the FRSC and other relevant agencies, describing the initiative as a major step towards restoring sanity to the territory’s traffic management system.
