The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has deployed about 1,500 of its personnel to enforce hitch-free vehicular movement during All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention holding in Abuja today.
In addition to the personnel, the commission is expected to deploy 35 vehicles, tow trucks, bikes, and ambulances to strengthen enforcement of restrictions in the cordoned areas during the convention.
A statement made available to newsmen by the FRSC Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem yesterday, ordered the personnel to effectively collaborate with other security agencies in the discharge of the crucial national assignment.
He quoted the Corps Marshall of FRSC, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi as saying that the operatives drafted to cover the national convention were also mandated to clear obstructions from all roads leading to Abuja as well as those within the Federal Capital City (FCC).
Oyeyemi also mandated the operatives to carry out rescue operations in case of emergencies, and maintain orderliness around the cordoned areas, just as he pleaded with the personnel to play active role in the democratic exercise.
He warned that the personnel should exhibit the highest sense of professionalism, ingenuity and avoid any temptation that could lead to the abuse of the rights of the electorate.
