The Federal Road Safety Corps said it will soon begin enforcement of speed limit device in commercial vehicles and trucks, following the suspension of the embargo on the implementation by the National Assembly.
The FRSC Corps Marshall, Boboye Oyeyemi told journalists today July 1, 2016 in Abuja that the NASS lifted the suspension of the programme June 23, 2016, adding that a new date for the enforcement of the device would be announced shortly.
He explained that the Presidency had earlier granted the corps leave to commence implementation of the programme with effect from April, 2016, but added that the enforcement was suspended to enable the NASS to conduct a public hearing on the initiative.
Oyeyemi said, “but following the submission of the committee’s report and its debate at the plenary of the house, the recommendation for the lifting of the suspension order was adopted and the house has accordingly lifted the suspension order on the enforcement of the device.
Consequently, the corps is coming up with a new date for the commencement of the enforcement on the compulsory use of the device as soon as consultation with relevant stakeholders is completed.”
