The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has called for a strong tie between it and the media in enforcing traffic rules and regulations in the country.

Mr Peter Kino, the Zonal Commanding Officer in charge of Jos zone, made the call at a press briefing on Tuesday in Jos.

Kibo, who just assumed duty as the new zonal commanding officer, urged media organisations in the zone to support its course.

He said enlightenment was a cardinal function of the corps hence the need for the media to key into its mandate of public education for safer highways across the country.

“Public education is key to our bid to ensure safer highways in the country. As an organisation, we can’t do it alone; so, we need stronger partnership with the media to achieve our goals.

“So, I am calling on all media organisations, particularly those in the states under my control to support and collaborate with us to succeed in making our highways safe,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Jos zonal command comprises Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau.
