FG Approves Intervention Funds For FRSC
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved intervention funds for the renewal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) fleets and formations damaged during the 2020 #EndSARS protests across the country.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Boss Mustapha, disclosed this during the inspection of the newly acquired operational vehicles and tow trucks for the FRSC on Thursday in Abuja.
Mr. Mustapha was represented by the Permanent Secretary, General Services Office, Mbaeri Nnamdi.
He said that this was to facilitate the effective enforcement of road traffic regulations and to also rebuild the burnt buildings.
“The Federal Government acknowledges the contribution of the FRSC to the reduction in Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) and facilities on the nation’s highways.
“The President has continued to support these efforts through approvals for infrastructural development, vehicles and equipment,” Mr Mustapha said.
Recall that several formations of the corps were attacked with property and operational vehicles either damaged or burnt in the wake of the #EndSARS violence of October 2020.
According to him, modalities for the release of funds are in process.
“It is my belief that the Corps will put these newly acquired vehicles to effective use in ensuring the safety of our roads.
