Acting Secretary to the Government of the Federation Dr. Habitat Lawal gave the warning at a management strategic session of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Abuja. A statement by FRSC Corps Public Education Officer Bisi Kazeem quoted the Acting SGF, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary (General Services) in her office, Dr. Ugo Roy, as reminding security agencies of their duty to ensure that citizens obey the laws. She said the citizens, on their part, must submit to rules and regulations, and realise that the law enforcement agencies are there to secure their lives and property. The statement said: “This nation can longer tolerate flagrant disobedience to laws, assault, maiming, killing as well as abduction of security operatives. “If the rate at which citizens contravene laws and regulations is not checked, then the nation may lapse into dire strait. “It is, therefore, the duty of all security agencies, including the FRSC, to ensure that the citizens of this nation adhere to rules and regulations. “All security agencies must collaborate while Nigerians must equally realise that the agencies are on duty to protect their lives and properties.” The SGF, who supervises the FRSC, spoke against the backdrop of recent attacks against personnel and facilities of the Corps in parts of the country. Over 10 cases were recorded in July alone, prominent among which was the shooting of two FRSC officials by security operatives attached to the Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly in Aba. The acting SGF urged the FRSC management to rise up to the challenge by being firmer in enforcement of the law and with its commanding officers and the rank and file. Dr. Lawal enjoined the Corps to work closely with the federal and state ministries of justice to ensure that traffic law offenders were prosecuted. “FRSC must remain diligent, firm and fair in the discharge of its duties. You must not allow the so-called ‘sacred cow syndrome’ to tarnish your good image. “You must also put in place checks on field operatives so that they stay within operational procedures and guidelines,’’ she added. She stated that the Federal Government was aware of the challenges facing the corps, and was working towards solving them in addition to remaining solidly them in the discharge of their duties. The Corps Marshal Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi said the forum was in continuation of the interaction between the management and commanding officers towards actualising the 2017 strategic goals of the Corps. The session, he explained, was an opportunity for management and officers to share ideas and experiences, and review their operational activities in the last one year to chart the way forward. On the spate of attacks on FRSC officials, Oyeyemi urged the commanding officers to be more vigilant in their commands and expand the frontier of their collaboration with relevant stakeholders. Oyeyemi thanked the Federal Government for its sustained support to the Corps as shown in the reduction of road accidents in the last seven months.]]>
