“We believe that the partnership will help us in having a crash-free society and also help in traffic control with effectual protection against accidents, ” he said.

The FRSC official appreciated the efforts of the police in curbing insecurity in the territory and safeguarding the lives of FRSC personnel.

Mohammed also appreciated the police for their collaboration and support during patrol operations enforcement and intelligence information in FCT and Niger state.
