Reps c’ttee lauds FRSC’s aggressive enforcement, calls for sustenance

The House of Representatives Committee on the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commended the agency’s Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, on the aggressive enforcement of traffic laws in 2024 leading to improved fines generation and called for sustained aggression in the New Year.

This was part of the observations by members when the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, appeared before the committee.

According to them, while N2.9 billion was originally projected for last year’s revenue generation by the FRSC, it superseded the target by generating N5.9 billion, making a 100 per cent increase above the projection.

While the committee commended the corps marshal for the feat last year, the members further charged him to sustain the aggression, especially in the area of enforcement of traffic lights offences which they said have become more prevalent in the FCT.

To this end, they called for collaboration between the FCT Administration and the FRSC to make all the traffic lights within the capital territory functional and bringing violators to book.

The chairman of the committee, Abiodun Derin Adesida, specifically asked the corps to clarify the issue of N1.9 billion which came up at the Senate committee defence as reported in some media platforms.

Responding, the Corps Marshal explained that the N1.9 billion were the fines generated from traffic violations alone, which were duly remitted to the Federation Account.

He further explained that the FRSC has no access to the Federation Account to which every kobo of the fines generated was paid.
