The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode does not have the right to push the Corps off the roads.
Assistant Corps Marshal and Zonal Commanding Officer of the commission, Shehu Zaki, said “The Governor cannot force us out of the roads, but he can advise us as he has already done,'' DAILY POST reports.
Ambode, had earlier asked the FRSC to limit its activities to only the suburbs of cities and the highways.
“That policy of the Lagos state government is even going to help us more and allow us to effectively deliver on our mandate on the highways, even more than before.
He however warned of some negative implications of Ambode's order.
“The implication is that even some members of the public who do not know how we operate have started telling some of our officers to leave the roads, in line with the governor’s call,” he said.
“There are certainly some negative implications to this statement, coming from a state governor and we are mindful of that.
