Zero Crashes, Strong Enforcement: FRSC’s ‘Operation Safe Kugbo’ Delivers Safety Breakthrough
In a city where traffic congestion and heavy-duty vehicles often heighten road risks, a targeted enforcement strategy is proving that decisive action can save lives.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recorded zero road traffic crashes involving articulated vehicles along the Kugbo outbound corridor since the launch of Operation Safe Kugbo on 18 March 2026.
As part of the ongoing operation, the Corps has restricted no fewer than 858 articulated vehicles and trucks from operating on the busy corridor during peak hours, significantly easing traffic flow and reducing accident risks.
The initiative, driven under the leadership of the Corps Marshal, is anchored on the provisions of the National Road Traffic Regulations, particularly Section 223, as well as the FCT Traffic Regulations.
It also aligns with the Corps’ 2026 strategic goal of drastically reducing road crashes nationwide.
At the operational level, the Unit Commander of RS7.13 Nyanya, CRC WF Luka, is leading enforcement efforts through coordinated patrols, strategic deployment of personnel, and real-time traffic management during peak periods.
The FRSC described the zero-crash record as a strong validation of the effectiveness of restricting heavy-duty vehicles during high-traffic hours, noting that the operation will be sustained with intensified monitoring.
Motorists, fleet operators, and truck drivers have been urged to comply fully with the restriction order, as the Corps remains committed to safeguarding lives and ensuring safer roads across the Federal Capital Territory and beyond.
