As the deadline for the installation of speed limit devices draws close, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Boboye Oyeyemi, has declared that there will no change.
He declared that vehicles without these devices will be impounded.
“Speed accounts for greater part of the causes of crashes. We are on course with the stakeholders on this and there is no going back on Mr President’s directive of April 1.We have already created a portal and will impound as many vehicles that flaunt this. I have enough provision, nationwide, to impound and prosecute them.
Oyeyemi urged state governments to help manage the installation.
“We have a portal that we can use to verify whether the calibration has been done or installed and we have to sustain this. We need to bring down the level of crisis in the country. It is too worrisome to me and the only way is to compel all the commercial vehicles to install the speed limiting device or the alternative for the big trucks to calibrate them."
