The acting Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, has called on special marshals of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, to devise methods of identifying drunken drivers on the highway.
Onyeme made the call on Saturday in Asaba during the commissioning of the secretariat for special marshals of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Delta Sector Command.
The acting governor who lauded special marshals for building a befitting secretariat, commended them for devoting time to assisting FRSC in the arduous task of saving Nigerian drivers and their passengers from avoidable accidents.
According to him: “I wish to remind both the Road Safety Corps and marshals of their core mandate of controlling the speed and other forms of misdemeanor of motorists on our highways.
“Continue to ensure that motorists are dissuaded from engaging in telephone discussions while on the steering; such indiscipline often results in avoidable accidents with attendant needless loss of lives.
“I commend all the special marshals in this zone for devoting time to assisting the Federal Road Safety Corps in the arduous task of saving Nigerian drivers and their passengers from avoidable accidents and deaths.
“Marshals should continue to render the selfless services which have distinguished them among compatriots nationwide.”
