The Federal Road Safety Corps has charged commanding officers nationwide to ensure that their staff members maintain political neutrality, avoid any form of participation in political rallies and campaigns, and avoid piloting political convoys.
The charge was issued by the Acting Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Ali, on Monday.
The charge was in reference to the agency’s Act, which stipulates the status of the corps as a public service agency that does not have any political affiliation but is solely established to provide essential services to all citizens, irrespective of their political interests or representation.
The commanding officers were directed to be sensitive to the plight of road users and prepare to tackle any traceable traffic gridlock that might arise as a result of the political activities by ensuring adequate deployment of personnel for ease of movement in form of traffic controls.
Ali reassured the public of the corps’ readiness and commitment to making roads safer at all times while admonishing them to always abide by road traffic regulations.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC Headquarters, Bisi Kazeem, on Monday.
