“The step is necessary to forestall incessant breakdown of vehicles on the road. It is also to ensure free flow of traffic especially with the various ongoing rehabilitation/repair in the State.

“The exercise will start from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st March, 2021 simultaneously on all FRSC formations across Lagos,” Ogungbemide said.

“Please be informed that any detected fault does not attract sanction within this period. Rather it will be a request for such fault to be rectified. This could be seen as Quarterly Corporate Social Responsibility of the Corps to the motoring public.

You are implored to cooperate with the operatives please”. Safety Checks

The FRSC boss advised motorists to obey traffic rules and regulations while also always ensuring that their vehicles are roadworthy.
