March 31, (THEWILL) – As Christians across the globe celebrate Easter, a day set aside to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Ali Biu, has congratulated all Christians across the country.
In his official message to Christians in Nigeria, Biu urged the motoring public to imbibe the teachings and lessons of love and compassion that surround the Holy Week and the purpose of the resurrection of Christ.
He emphasised that the wanton destruction of lives and properties on the nation’s highways, resulting from people’s impatience, would be avoided if people properly imbibed the exemplary life of Jesus Christ.
Biu admonished Christians as well as members of the general public not to jettison the rules in the course of the celebration but to continue to observe them in order to build on the gains so far made by the Corps in its mission to make the highways safer for all to use.
Speaking further, the FRSC Corps Marshal urged the celebrants to use the period of the celebration to offer special prayers for our country while restating the commitment of the Corps towards sustaining its present successes in road crash reduction.
He disclosed that Commanding Officers across the country have been given directives to be on the alert during the celebrations to provide all necessary support to members of the public and to particularly attend to whatever emergencies may arise.
He called on members of the public to join the FRSC in its ongoing campaigns for a safer road environment by promptly reporting any road and other emergencies they notice to the FRSC.
