Aregbesola called on the FRSC to introduce alcohol detection mechanism in order to curb accidents on the highway.<\/span><\/p>\n

The governor also called on the Federal Government to handover the responsibility of maintaining federal roads to state governments in view of its inability to handle them efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said his administration was planning to retrain and re-certify commercial vehicle drivers in Osun State to ensure safety on the highways.<\/span><\/p>\n

The governor, who called for co-operation between his administration and the FRSC, promised to ensure that only qualified persons drive on Osun roads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI desire that the FRSC introduces alcohol content detection in the drivers on our road just like their counterparts in the developed world. I want us collectively save lives and reduce the carnage on our roads,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
