The Federal Road Safety Corps, Anambra State Sector Command, has intensified its road safety advocacy across Eke, Amambia, motor parks and markets as part of efforts to promote safer road use and reduce road traffic crashes during the 2026 Ember Months period.
The advocacy team, led by the Sector Commander, Anambra State Sector Command, Corps Commander Bridget Asekhauno, engaged commercial drivers, transport operators, traders, passengers and other road users on the need to obey traffic rules and regulations, avoid speeding, dangerous overtaking, route violations, distracted driving and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The team also visited Rivers Joy Park, Royal Mass, Star Sunny Park, Peace Park, Capital Motor Parks and Tracas, where drivers and transport stakeholders were advised to ensure that their vehicles are roadworthy before embarking on journeys. Particular emphasis was placed on the regular inspection of brakes, tyres, lights, wipers and other critical vehicle components.
The Sector Commander further led the Command’s public enlightenment efforts through a live audience-participation programme on KPAKPANDU 101.9 FM, Mbaukwu, on 22nd September, 2026. During the programme, she explained the functions and statutory responsibilities of the Federal Road Safety Corps, including road traffic management, traffic law enforcement, public enlightenment, rescue operations and crash reduction.
Corps Commander Bridget Asekhauno urged all road users to exercise caution, maintain lane discipline, avoid distractions and prioritize the safety of passengers and other road users. She also encouraged the public to support the Corps’ efforts to create a safer motoring environment in Anambra State and Nigeria at large.
The programme, hosted by Mr. Franklin, featured an interactive call-in session during which listeners sought clarification on various road safety issues. The Sector Commander provided practical guidance and further reinforced the need for collective responsibility in preventing road traffic crashes and saving lives.
The Anambra State Sector Command remains committed to continuous stakeholder engagement, public enlightenment, and proactive interventions in line with the Federal Road Safety Corps’ mandate and its 2026 Corporate Strategic Goal of reducing road traffic fatalities and injuries.
