Bauchi State Government has called for active collaboration with the State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) towards mitigating the incessant accidents and road traffic violation.
Governor Bala Abdulkadir Muhammed made the call while granting audience to the newly posted Bauchi State Sector Commander Patrick Ikaba at Government House Bauchi.
Governor Bala, who expressed worry over the spate of accidents in some highways across the state, said the collaboration would enhance operations of the State Road Traffic Management Agency (BAROTA) towards ensuring safety of road users.
The Governor said under the arrangements, personnel of the FRSC would actively work with BAROTA in controlling illegal business operations which often caused difficulties to commuters passing through some busiest weekly markets across the state.
He assured of the state government’s commitment to provide all the needed supports that would facilitate smooth running of their activities.
Earlier the Sector Commander Patrick Ikaba who said he was at the government house for familiarization visit informed the governor that already the Corps has introduced new operations aimed at decongesting markets and some busy areas.
