In a statement on Friday by Bisi Kazeem, FRSC spokesperson, the agency said patrol vehicles, ambulances, as well as tow trucks will also be made available across the country for the electoral exercise.
“The Federal Road Safety Corps is deploying a total of 21,783 personnel, 769 vehicles, 139 ambulances and 33 heavy, medium and light duty tow trucks as part of its commitment towards ensuring that the 2023 Presidential and National Assembly elections are conducted in a smooth, hitch-free and very successful manner,” the statement reads.
“Being a member of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security, the Corps will work alongside other security agencies to ensure orderliness and timely delivery of election materials.
Other areas of election duties include: “Screening and accreditation of vehicles hired by INEC from road transport unions for conveyance of sensitive and non-sensitive materials; and ensuring orderliness at polling units and countering activities that could undermine the election”. “While charging them to carry out their duties with all diligence, the Corps Marshal also directed Commanding Officers to ensure that patrol and other operational vehicles are promptly deployed and monitored all through the duration of the exercise,” Kazeem added.“He charged the personnel to be highly professional and desist from any form of incivility as the entire citizens expect nothing less at this critical time.
