HAWKING, PREACHING IN BUSES, FAILURE TO COOPERATE WITH FRSC OFFICIALS ATTRACT ₦50,000 FINE – SENATE. (PHOTO).

-



The Nigerian Senate has passed the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Act (Amendment) Bill, 2026, introducing significantly stiffer penalties for various traffic offences in a bid to enhance road safety and curb reckless driving.


The legislation, which is now awaiting presidential assent, raises fines for several violations by as much as 300 percent. Among its key provisions is a N50,000 fine for anyone caught hawking, trading, or preaching inside commercial buses. Lawmakers introduced the clause to eliminate distractions in public vehicles and improve commuter safety.


The bill, titled *Federal Road Safety Corps Act (Amendment), 2026 (HBs. 1401 & 1604 – For Concurrence)*, was first read in the Senate on July 1, 2026.


Under the new rules, motorists who fail to cooperate with FRSC officials during roadside breath tests conducted on reasonable suspicion face a N50,000 fine, six months’ imprisonment, or both.


Penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or intoxicating drugs have been dramatically increased — from the previous N5,000 fine to N100,000, with offenders also liable to up to two years’ imprisonment, or both. The law applies to anyone driving or attempting to drive while under the influence beyond the legal limit or to the extent that they cannot properly control the vehicle.


Other major changes include:

- A N100,000 fine for failing to obey traffic lights, road signs, pavement markings, or other traffic control devices.

- Speed limit violations, previously attracting a N5,000 fine, now carry a N100,000 penalty.

- Reckless driving is punishable by a N100,000 fine, up to two years’ imprisonment, or both.


The amended Act features a revised schedule listing 52 traffic violations with their corresponding penalties. Senators argued during deliberations that stronger sanctions are essential to address persistent violations and reduce road crashes across the country.


The Senate stated that the review aims to strengthen the FRSC’s enforcement capabilities, boost compliance with traffic regulations, and make Nigerian roads safer.


The new penalties are expected to have a notable impact on commercial transport operators and commuters, especially in major cities where hawking and preaching inside buses remain common practices.


The bill now heads to the President for assent before it becomes law.
