The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has said the agency remained a safety corps and not a revenue generating agency.
Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO) Bisi Kazeem said this to newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
According to reports, there have been reports about FRSC paying more attention to revenue generation than the safety of motorists and road users.
Kazeem said that the mandate of FRSC was to make the nation’s highway safe for motorists and other road users across the country.
“We are an agency of the government and the primary purpose of existence of any government all over the world and from time immemorial is the security of lives and properties.
“And that is exactly what we are helping the government to achieve. We are not a revenue generating agency.
“Our mandate is clear and it is to eradicate Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) and create a safer motoring environment in Nigeria,” he said.
The FRSC spokesperson appealed to the motoring public to continue to ensure their vehicles were properly registered as it enhances the security of the vehicles.
