Ogungbemide said the exercise was an initiative of the Corps, and a checklist ticket will be issued at the end for follow-up and to encourage the drivers to fix any defect discovered in the process.

He said, “The step is necessary to forestall incessant breakdown of vehicles on the road and ensure a free flow of traffic especially with the various ongoing road rehabilitation/repairs in the State.

“The exercise will start from Thursday 18, to Sunday 21, March 2021 simultaneously on all FRSC formations across Lagos,” Ogungbemide said.

“Please be informed that any detected fault would not attract sanction within this period, rather a request will be made for such faults to be rectified.

It is our quarterly Corporate Social Responsibility to the motoring public. You are implored to cooperate with the operatives please”. He added.

The FRSC boss advised motorists to obey traffic rules and regulations while ensuring also that their vehicles are roadworthy.

Adding that the command would not condone any act of traffic violations in the state.

He further stated that the operation will be carried out by operatives including Special Marshals throughout the duration of the exercise.
