As Easter approaches, the Road Transport Employers Association Nigeria (RTEAN) have enjoined all motorists to obey traffic rules during the season.
In an Easter message issued by the Executive National President of the Union, Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo and its Secretary General, Comrade Yusuf Adeniyi “All road users, not only the commercial vehicle operators, should obey the law because the road signs are there.
“It is unfortunate that majority of motorists do not obey the rules, but we need to talk to ourselves to obey simple rules,”.
However, RTEAN also noted that obeying traffic regulations would ensure road safety and prevent accidents, even in bad situations.
“We have spent a lot of money on print and electronic media to educate members on the need to obey traffic laws in their operations. We also have jingles instructing members to comply with all directives in the interest of all. We have established a task force across the state to support us in enforcement.
“If all of us obey traffic laws, even with poor condition of roads, we will be safe and everyone will get to his or her destination safely
