The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Malam Shehu Mohammed, on Monday, directed construction companies on Nigerian roads to ensure placement of road signs at the construction sites nationwide.

Mohammed made this known in a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Mr Olusegun Ogungbemide, in Abuja.

He said that the directive aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing nationwide road construction and rehabilitation efforts aimed at improving safety and enhancing the efficiency of the country’s highways.
