 He explained that also , the issue of
overloading and mixed loading, are worrisome which cause road accidents  across the nation.

 According to him,  we don't need people using drugs or narcotics  before they could drive to become danger to human beings. 

He urged  the FRSC to strengthen its enforcement efforts against traffic violations so that to minimize  rate of injuries  on the roads.

He described the Road safety corps as  very important organization for Nigerians that's why we always keep on supporting them, the little we can .

Earlier,  the Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Shoba  Akande said they were  at  Palace  to formally introduce himself as the 24th Zonal Commanding Officer of RS10 Headquarters, which oversees Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states, as well  as to seek the Sultan’s royal blessings, guidance and support.
