As Nigerians gear up for the 2025 Eid-el-Fitri celebrations, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has launched a nationwide special patrol to ensure safe and smooth travel.
The operation, running from March 27 to April 2, 2025, aims to curb road crashes, enforce traffic laws, and respond swiftly to emergencies.
To achieve this, FRSC has mobilised thousands of personnel, including Special Marshals, and deployed 754 patrol vehicles, 143 ambulances, 48 tow trucks, and radar guns to check speeding.
Key highways across the country will be closely monitored, with 16 traffic control camps and 53 critical routes under surveillance.
Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed emphasised the need for strict enforcement against reckless driving, overloading, and road obstructions.
He also urged motorists to plan their journeys wisely, avoid overspeeding, and adhere to traffic regulations warning that Mobile Courts will be set up nationwide to prosecute offenders.
The FRSC is working in collaboration with security agencies and emergency services to manage gridlocks and respond to distress calls.
Motorists are encouraged to report traffic situations via the FRSC mobile app, social media, or the toll-free emergency number 122.
With this proactive approach, the Corps is determined to make this year’s Eid-el-Fitri travel season safer for all Nigerians.
