The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recorded a remarkable safety milestone with zero road traffic crashes involving articulated vehicles along the Kugbo outbound corridor since the commencement of the ongoing enforcement exercise, Operation Safe Kugbo, on 18 March 2026. This was contained in a statement signed by Osondu Ohaeri, fnipr, fcai, Deputy Corps Commander, Corps Public Education Officer, Federal Road Safety Corps Headquarters, Abuja.
The statement reads: “In a sustained and well-coordinated operation, the Corps has so far restricted a total of 858 articulated vehicles and trucks from operating on the corridor during peak hours.
“This ongoing success is driven by the strategic leadership of the Corps Marshal whose initiative is firmly rooted in the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations (NRTR), particularly Section 223, as well as the FCT Traffic Regulations.
“The operation aligns with the Corps’ 2026 Corporate Strategic Goal 1, aimed at drastically reducing road traffic crashes and improving road safety outcomes nationwide.
“At the tactical level, the Unit Commander, RS7.13 Nyanya, CRC WF Luka, continues to lead a dedicated team of operatives in enforcing compliance through targeted patrols, strategic positioning, and real-time traffic management during peak periods.
“The Corps emphasises that the operation remains ongoing, with intensified monitoring and enforcement to sustain the gains already recorded. The zero-crash record along the corridor stands as a strong validation of the effectiveness of the initiative and reinforces the importance of restricting heavy-duty vehicles during high-traffic periods.
“Motorists, fleet operators, and truck drivers are therefore urged to maintain full compliance with the restriction order, as the FRSC remains resolute in its commitment to protecting lives and ensuring safer roads across the Federal Capital Territory and beyond, ” it also added.
