The Federal Road Safety Corps has on Sunday restate its
total ban of petroleum tanker drivers from embarking on night journeys across
the country from Monday, Dec.19.
The FRSC Corps
Marshal, Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that
FRSC will put more effort to apprehend
any Driver found breaking the law.
“No tanker should be
seen on the road at night, we need to find solutions to incessant crashes of
tankers on the road.
“Beneficial as petroleum sector is to the nation, safe
haulage remains FRSC concern"
“There is a problem and we have solutions to them, no more
night journeys for petroleum products as from Monday, Dec. 19, enough is
enough.
“The effects of crashes are quite unquantifiable on human
life, the environment and to the economy,” Oyeyemi said.
The FRSC boss also said that a crash involving a tanker
laden with petrol would lose about N50million being the cost of its contents
and the vehicle.
