The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has frowned at transporting passengers with goods and animals, a common practice among commercial articulated truck drivers.
The Sector Commander of the corps in Oyo State, Mrs Rosemary Alo, issued the warning during Saturday’s sensitisationprogramme in Ogbomoso.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the programme, organised by the Ogbomoso Unit Command, targeted articulated truck drivers, cattle traders, market leaders and other stakeholders.

Alo, represented by the Ogbomoso Unit Commander, Assistant Corps Commander Solomon Aderinmola, noted that the enlightenment programme aligned with the FRSC’s 2025 Strategic Goal-One.
Reiterating the corps’ commitment to reducing Road Traffic Crashes (RTC), she said the goal focuses on a 10 per cent reduction in road traffic fatalities and injuries.
However, Aderinmola, speaking as the unit commander, stated that the campaign was part of the unit’s efforts to engage and promote safe transportation practices in communities within its jurisdiction. (NAN)
