Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Chief Route Commander Femi Adeyemo pjsc, led a team from the RS11.312 Oolo Unit Command for an extensive road monitoring exercise along the Oolo – Oyo old and new roads.

Pictorial evidence from the road monitoring activity accompanies this report, showcasing the proactive approach being taken by the FRSC Oolo Unit Command to ensure a safer driving experience for all road users.
As the Ember Months approach, the FRSC reaffirms its commitment to preserving lives and maintaining road safety across all routes.
