Afolabi said that the report showed a significant drop in road fatalities.
” This decline was supported by a recorded decrease in the number of persons injured and the total number of individuals involved in road accidents.
” The command attributed these gains to heightened visibility and a surge in the detection and apprehension of traffic offenders,” he said.
According to him, Olonisaye said that upholding professional standards, fostering unity and mutual support, engaging motorists with firmness and politeness, and strict adherence to operational schedules were essential to achieving road safety.
Afolabi said that Olonisaye inspected several projects completed by the command under Fasakin, including construction of a standard quarter guard and asphalting of the premises of the command’s headquarters.
