The Federal Road Safety Corps on Friday ordered all its officers to ‘ immediately resume’ operational activities in all formations of the Corps across the country .
The Corps had earlier suspended all enforcement activities as a result of the unrest that trailed the #EndSARS protests in the country.
Some offices of the Corps were also torched by rampaging hoodlums who hijacked the protests against police brutality to terrorise road users.
But in a statement on Friday, FRSC Corps Marshal , Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, ordered all the officers of the Corps to return to their duty posts .
The statement titled, ‘ Go Back To The Roads, Corps Marshal Orders Personnel , Mourns The Victims Of Enugu Crash , ’ was signed by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem .
According to the statement , Oyeyemi instructed all Commanding Officers to “ keep the roads safe , enforce maximum compliance to road traffic regulations and safety guides as well as forestall incidences of crashes and fatalities on the highways . ”
He said the Corps was not dispirited by the attacks on some of its properties by hoodlums , adding that “ the Corps is still deeply committed to the full realisation of its corporate mandate ” which includes keeping the roads safe at all times .
Oyeyemi assured the personnel that everything humanly possible must be done to safeguard the lives and properties .
The FRSC boss also mourned the victims of an auto crash in Enugu State where 21 persons lost their lives on Wednesday .
