The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), in Bauchi state says it has deployed 452 personnel to ensure free flow of traffic in the 2025 Christmas celebration taking place on Thursday.
Mr Apaji Boyi, the Sector Commander, FRSC, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Bauchi on Tuesday.
Boyi further explained that in order to ensure effective coverage and instant responses to any form of road traffic issues as well as a hitch-free celebration, the command also deployed 12 patrol vehicles.
The Sector Commander added that five ambulances and one tow truck were also deployed to that effect.
"It's an annual event and we are well prepared. We have deployed about 452 personnel and 12 patrol vehicles with five ambulances and one tow truck.
"We are quite conscious of the volume of traffic that will be coming into Bauchi and in view of that, we are well prepared. We have deployed both personnel and logistics and presently we are concentrating on the entrances to the state.
"This is because people will be coming in from all the nooks and crannies of the state and patrol operation is ongoing to ensure safe movement of all the participants to the city," said the commander.
He said that the corp would maintain traffic control and free flow of movement would be guaranteed.
Boyi however, called on all the people to avoid speeding, overloading of passengers and goods as well as adhere strictly to all the traffic rules and regulations.
"They should have it at the back of their minds that it is only the living that celebrate.
"We are praying that by next year, we shall all be alive to also celebrate the Christmas," said the FRSC boss.
