By: Safiya Abdulrahim Dabban
The Abia State Government has warned that anyone who breaks traffic rules will face strict penalties, regardless of status.
Speaking after the Executive Council meeting led by Governor Alex Otti, Commissioner for Information Prince Okey Kanu said the state has launched a road safety campaign titled “Road Safety is a Shared Responsibility: A Drive to Arrive.”
The campaign, done in partnership with the Ministry of Transport, the Harmonized Task Force, and the FRSC, aims to curb reckless driving, especially the one-way driving habit that endangers lives.
Prince Kanu also announced that the newly completed Umuene Court Building in Isiala Ngwa South will be commissioned this week, as part of ongoing judicial reforms to improve access to justice across Abia’s 17 LGAs.
