The Federal Road Safety Corps On Thursday vowed to sanction and prosecute fleet operators for non-compliance with safety standards across the country.
The FRSC Corps Marshal, Dauda Biu, represented by the Assistant Corps Marshal, Ms Amuche Nwaka, revealed this on Thursday in Abuja during the 2023 annual safety managers retreat, noting that the Corps would no longer tolerate the failure of fleet operators to adhere strictly to the terms of the Road Transport Safety Standardization Scheme.
The FRSC boss said the retreat was intended to appraise and address notable observations made by the Corps regarding the management of fleet operations in the country in the last year and associated consequences.
He said investigations revealed that most recorded fleet operations-related crashes in the country could have been avoided if the concerned safety managers had been committed to their roles.
“This retreat is, therefore, a wake-up call to all of us to further justify our roles as safety managers,” he said.
