El-Rufai donates fire-fighting truck to FRSC

A brand new fire-fighting truck has been donated by Governor Nasir El-Rufai to the Kaduna State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). The truck was handed over on Wednesday by the  Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government and received on behalf of the Command by the Sector Head of Operations,  Deputy Corps Commander Salisu Galandashi.
El-Rufai promised to donate the truck at a State Security meeting after he received  the report of a Road Traffic Crash along Abuja Road  that claimed 17 lives on the spot after the vehicle caught  fire when a trailer collided with a Hummer passenger  bus on February 10, 2018.
The Sector  Commander  , Corps Commander Umar Ibrahim, during the Security Council meeting narrated to the governor how his  operatives became helpless to quench the fire after rescuing the people out of the  crased vehicles.
He told the meeting how in the  middle of the night,  FRSC rescue teams stood and watched victims suffering in pain when fire was burning them.
The governor immediately ordered for the vehicle to be handed over to FRSC for usage along Kaduna – Abuja Highway.
FRSC Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, expressed appreciation to the governor for his interest in road safety and enjoin others to show interest by contributing towards saving lives on Nigerian roads.
