 Nigerians shouldn’t be poor — Obasanjo Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has asserted that Nigerians ought not to be living in poverty, given the country’s abundant natural and human resources. Speaking at a dinner hosted in his honour by the Abia State Government on Friday at the Government House in Umuahia, Obasanjo stated that the nation is richly endowed but continues to suffer as a result of the mismanagement of its resources. He said: “Nigerians have no business with poverty because God has given us all that we need. “If we are mismanaging what God has given us, we do not have God to blame, we have ourselves to blame.” The former president commended Governor Alex Otti of Abia State for his administration’s transformation efforts, highlighting the widespread public approval of his governance. He lauded the governor’s impact on the state and encouraged him to maintain the current trajectory of progress. Obasanjo reiterated that the country’s fortunes would be greatly improved...

FRSC INTRODUCES ALCOHOL DETECTION DEVICE


To curb incessant road accidents in Bauchi State due to intake of booze and other intoxicants, the state Sector of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, has introduced breathalyser, an alcohol detecting machine, to detect the volume of drugs and beer content in body system of commercial drivers. 

Speaking at the administration of the device on commercial drivers plying Bauchi-Kano route at Awala branch Motor Park, Monday, the Sector Commander, FRSC Rs. 12.1, Bauchi, Yusuf Abdullahi, said any driver found culpable will not be allowed to drive.

According to him, the device is not only for the detection of alcohol but any other substance that could distort an individual’s body system to the level of intoxication.

He said, “If any driver is found guilty, the Corps will offer necessary pieces of advice and also take away the vehicle from the driver from the point of contact.

“If it happens at the park, we will immediately inform the executive members that this man has some level of alcohol in his body system and for that, they should take the vehicle away from him.”

Expounding on the device, Abdullahi said, "The device would detect anything within the system and that’s why we ask them to breathe in and breathe out during the test and by the time you breathe out the air in your body system, it would show that something is abnormal, be it drug or alcohol.”

He added that the exercise would be sustained as the machines are permanent with its Road Marshals. And that the personnel will also visit parks where drivers load passengers to conduct the test on a regular basis but impromptu and randomly. 

Abdullahi further called on all commercial drivers to abstain from taking alcohol and other substances that could affect their state of mind while driving and to always obey traffic rules and regulations saying, “There are some lifestyles that can not be co-opted into the driving profession and if you must take driving as a profession, some of those negative lifestyles that contravene the traffic profession should be dropped.

“By the time we are able to do away with those lifestyles before going into the driving profession, we will adhere strictly to the driving rules and regulations and that would go a long way in boosting our performance and aid us in our driving profession."

The Sector Commander also urged passengers to always speak up whenever they realize that a driver is not obeying the traffic rules and regulations, saying this will go a long way in mitigating the level of road crashes.

Responding, Chairman of the Park, Auwal Ibrahim lauded FRSC for coming up with such a ‘life-saving’ initiative, and urged passengers in the park to always look out for phone numbers written on their ticket to call and complain about recklessness of any driver from the park. 

All drivers tested with the device came out negative.
