FRSC starts radio-awareness campaigns for drivers, road users
Alonge said the unit command chose to run the programme, entitled “Good Morning Show” on radio because motorists and other road users often listened to the radio more, especially when they were driving.
The Ore Unit Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), in Ondo State, has begun a radio program to sensitize motorists and other road users about highway safety.
The unit commander, Mr. Sikiru Alonge, who disclosed this in an interview on Wednesday in Ore, said the one-week program, aimed at curbing accidents, was being aired on STJ 97.4 FM, Ore.
Alonge said that the program was also to commemorate the "2022 World Day Of Remembrance For Road Traffic Crash Victims."
He said the unit command chose to run the program, entitled "Good Morning Show," on radio because motorists and other road users often listened to the radio more, especially when they were driving.
"The program is to enlighten and sensitize motorists and other road users against violations of traffic regulations in order to reduce accidents on our highway," Alonge explained.
The FRSC official also responded to the allegation that personnel of the corps were using point-of-sale (POS) machines to collect fines from offenders.
According to him, FRSC officers do not receive payment of fines from traffic offenders through the POS machines.
Supreme reports that Mr Abiola Fadumo, the unit's Public Enlightenment Officer, who anchors the radio programme, gives listeners opportunity to phone in and ask questions and make clarifications on road traffic matters
