The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has deployed its personnel as part of collaborations with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and other stakeholders to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and emergency response during the Sallah celebrations in Nigeria.
According to a statement signed by the Head of Press and Public Relations, Mr Manzo Ezekiel, the deployment is a continuation of a similar exercise during the recent Easter celebrations and will last for a period of one week.
“NEMA offices nationwide have been activated to deploy personnel and equipment this weekend to strategic road corridors that usually experience a high volume of vehicular movements during festivities. The deployment is also aimed at rallying support of relevant stakeholders towards assisting the FRSC, which is the lead agency to minimize road crashes and prompt response to emergencies.“
The critical stakeholders under the joint exercise with NEMA and the FRSC include the Nigeria Police, Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Directorates of Road Transport Services, National Union of Road Transport Workers and others in various states across the country.
