Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Biu has said non-adherence to traffic lights, particularly in the nation’s capital is worrisome.
Speaking in Abuja during the first quarter Corps Marshal strategy session with commanding officers, he said such disregard for traffic regulations not only endangers lives but also undermines the credibility of the corps efforts.
