Federal Road Safety Corps, Anambra Command says it will carry out robust traffic management and control at strategic places, where heavy vehicular movements occur in order to ease traffic congestions in all parts of the state this Christmas season.

The State Sector Commander, Mr Andrew Kumapayi announced this in Awka while commenting on preparations of his organisation for the Ember Months.

Mr Kumapayi disclosed that the robust traffic management and control activities would help to ensure that holidaymakers and road users would not experience long hours of driving through gridlocks.

He said that two camps would be established for twenty four -hour traffic control operations and immediate response to road traffic crashes in the state.

The Anambra FRSC boss said a major focus during the command’s Ember Months Operation would be to respond promptly to emergency situations on the roads such as road mishaps and removal of obstructions and disclosed that they are partnering with the Anambra State Ministry of Health to be able to provide ambulance services for prompt evacuation of injured persons during this season in case of emergency.

Mr Kumapayi, assured that the Command would be working hard to realise the Corp’s target of reducing road traffic crashes by fifteen per cent and fatality by twenty per cent through various internal measures.

He expressed satisfaction that such efforts have been yielding positive results, as work had since commenced on some Federal roads in the state.
