The Federal Roads Safety Commission has deployed 34,000 personnel, 455 vehicles and 102 motorcycles nationwide for a special patrol before, during and after the Easter celebration.

A statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Mr Jonas Agwu, in Abuja on Tuesday stated that the commission also deployed 66 ambulances for the exercise.

“This is in addition to the commission’s 24 emergency ambulance response centres located at designated routes in the FCT, Kaduna, Gombe, Jigawa, Taraba, Niger, Kogi, Ondo, Edo, Osun, Nasarawa, Plateau and Kwara,” he said.

Agwu said that the personnel and other equipment would be deployed on 23 designated ‘critical’ road corridors and ‘black spots’ across the nation for effective traffic management during the period.

He listed some of the corridors as Sagamu-Ore-Benin, Lokoja-Benin-Auchi, Onitsha-Ihiala-Aba, Abuja-Keffi-Akwanga-HawanKibo-Jos and Minna-Birnin-Kebbi-Sokoto-Gusau-Funtua-Zaria.
