Youths engaged in carrying buyers’ loads on wheel barrows at Wuse Market Abuja, at the weekend made brisk business due to the large number of people that flooded the place. The introduction of barrow pushers to the market began in 1996 and the leader of their union, Awal Aliyu Bichi, has continuously stated that his members are dedicated in their jobs

The Kuje unit of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has warned motorists in the council area and its environs to comply with traffic rules.

FRSC unit Commander, J. A. Omoleye, stated that total disregard to traffic rules and regulations have continued to bring about frequent traffic crashes.

He said the violation ranges from human, mechanical and environmental factors that include over speeding, over confidence, lack of confidence, fatigue, driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, poor maintenance, improper parking as well as lack of concentration, among others.

“To guarantee safety on our roads, drivers must adhere strictly to the laid down rules on road usage. They must heed warning signs, information signs and other road markings that are critical to free vehicular movements at all times,” he added.

He said as traffic volumes increase, highways rely mostly on road markings and traffic signals which complement the rules of the road, adding that failure by drivers to recognize road signs, always leads to disorderliness and conflicts on the road.

Our reporters gathered from research that road traffic violation is said to be on the increase, right from 1970 to the early 80s, when the nation depended mostly on road transportation system as a means of conveying economic goods from one place to another across the country.
