Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Nuhu Muhammad, has urged the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, to license all motorcyclists in Jigawa state.
The Emir said this statement today after the new FRSC Sector Commander in the state, Mr Angus Ibezim, visited his palace in Dutse, the Jigawa state capital.
Emir said: “very few motorcyclists are qualified to ride on the roads; so I support the arrest of unlicensed cyclists, particularly commercial motorcyclists.
“Most of them don’t know how to drive, they have to be certified. This can be done through their unions, they must be licensed.
“The move would ensure that only qualified and certified persons ride motorcycles and other vehicles and reduce the rate of accidents in the state.”
The Emir added that most motorcyclists in the emirate are drug addicts, adding that: “What is bothering us in this emirate is use of hard drugs by commercial drivers.
“They over speed while taking passengers to Kano and other places: Definitely they must be using some drugs to do so without getting tired,” he said.
“As a new Sector Commander, I am here to seek your support and cooperation for the FRSC and in reducing the rate of road crashes in Dutse and the entire state.
“I assure you that the corps will leave no stones unturned in addressing drug misuse among drivers,” Ibezim stated.
