“We did this because, we are aware that if we fail on our part, posterity will not pardon our failure to manage the challenges, and the scars of our irresponsibility will be deafening, hence the imperatives of doubling our efforts in our future engagements.”


He also said the Corps leveraged on the review exercise as a necessary tool that would help in achieving the mileage recorded within the periods under consideration.

The FRSC boss further said that the Corps had a robust engagement with the leadership of the various Transport Unions, and Security Agencies including State Traffic Management Agencies and the FCT Department of Road Traffic Services.
