To boost operational efficiency and enhance road safety services across Zamfara State, the state government has handed over two newly refurbished vehicles to the Federal Road Safety Corps.

He said the vehicles would enhance the corps’ operational capacity and improve its road safety activities across the state.
The intervention is part of the state government’s efforts to strengthen the capacity of security agencies and improve emergency-response services.
