As the Eidul Kabir festivities approach, the Kwara State Government has urged transporters to avoid reckless driving to ensure the safety of commuters, calling for maximum caution against acts that could hinder peaceful celebrations.
The Kwara State Commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Lafia Aliyu Korasabi who emphasized that reckless driving could lead to devastating consequences, including loss of lives and property, advised transporters to promote a culture of responsible driving and reduce the incidence of road accidents.
He said Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq places a high premium on the safety of citizens of the State, and rallied for the cooperation of all transporters to complement government efforts by obeying traffic rules and regulations.
Kora Sabi warned against overloading, over speeding, use of vehicles without adequate road worthiness, among other traffic violations, which sometimes cause road accidents. He said the Ministry’s traffic management agents will continue to be on guard at every strategic point to allow hitch free movements of commuters during and after the Eid celebrations.
Similarly, the Commissioner encouraged commuters to shun boarding vehicles at road side parks and garages, popularly known as “soole”, which could be highly dangerous, adding that only well defined and duly registered garages should be used for safety.
