The Directorate of Road Traffic Services has advised drivers to exercise caution due to the hazardous driving conditions caused by the foggy weather which is typical of the Harmattan season.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) squadron leader at the Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO), Yusuf Suberu, said this to newsmen in Abuja this Monday.
Suberu says that the dry season reduces visibility and increases the risk of road accidents, saying the season requires heightened road safety awareness. He says road users to remain disciplined and vigilant to prevent accidents, saying they should avoid excessive speeding.
Suberu says drivers and pedestrians must prioritise caution to ensure their safety and the security of their belongings.
He also advised motorists to stay alert for potential hazards, such as road diversions and obstructions caused by ongoing road construction projects across the country.
