 has officially flagged off a strategic enforcement operation code named "Operation Safe Kugbo".){kind=link}
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has launched a targeted enforcement initiative, “Operation Safe Kugbo,” aimed at improving traffic management and reducing road traffic crashes involving articulated vehicles along the busy Kugbo outbound corridor.
The Corps said the operation stems from the proactive intervention of the Corps Marshal, who recently set up a high-level tactical team to assess and tackle the recurring accidents along the AYA–Nyanya–Kugbo axis.
Describing the drive as a strategic response, the FRSC emphasised that the operation reflects the Corps’ commitment to translating critical assessments into decisive, on-ground actions to safeguard motorists and road users.
The initiative, conceived by the Corps Marshal himself and driven at the Sector level by the Sector Commander, CC FN Theman, is in line with the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations NRTR, particularly Section 223, as well as the FCT Traffic Regulations.
It also aligns with the Corps’ 2026 Corporate Strategic Goal One, which prioritises safer road environments through proactive and preventive measures.
The operation focuses on restricting the movement of articulated vehicles and heavy-duty trucks during peak traffic hours to mitigate congestion and associated risks.
FRSC reiterated its commitment to deploying data driven and people centered strategies to safeguard lives and property on Nigerian roads.
The Corps urged all road users, particularly operators of heavy duty vehicles, to continue to comply with traffic regulations, as sustained enforcement under Operation Safe Kugbo would remain a critical component of efforts to ensure safer and more efficient movement within the FCT.
