The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kano has advised motorists and residents to exercise caution and patience due to ongoing reconstruction and rehabilitation works along the Kano–Zaria Road corridor.
The advisory was contained in a statement issued by the Public Education Officer of the Command, CRC Abdullahi Labaran, on behalf of the Sector Commander.
According to the statement, the road rehabilitation currently covers the stretch from Karfi to the Naibawa Flyover, a development expected to temporarily disrupt the smooth flow of traffic along the busy route.
The Kano Sector Commander of the FRSC, CC Idris Mohammed Lawal, urged motorists using the road to remain calm and cooperative while driving through the affected areas.
He cautioned drivers against indiscriminate parking and other actions that could obstruct traffic and exacerbate congestion along the corridor.
“Motorists are advised to remain patient while passing through the construction zone and avoid any activity that could hinder the free movement of vehicles,” he said.
Lawal further emphasised the need for drivers to strictly observe traffic regulations, maintain proper lane discipline, and comply with instructions from traffic control personnel deployed along the route.
“Drivers should adhere strictly to all traffic rules, maintain lane discipline, and obey directives from traffic control officials stationed along the road to ensure safety and orderly traffic movement,” he added.
The sector commander noted that the FRSC is collaborating with other security agencies as well as the construction company handling the project to effectively manage traffic and reduce inconvenience to road users during the rehabilitation period.
He also urged members of the public to promptly report any road obstruction or traffic-related emergency to the FRSC to enable a swift response and intervention.
