Nigeria President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) to improve highway monitoring and reduce the number of road accidents across the country.

The victims were on their way from Kwandari in Plateau State to a Maulud Nabiy celebratory event in Saminaka, Kaduna State when their bus collided with a truck at Lere town of Kaduna State.
The President condoled with the families of the dead and injured and with the governments of Kaduna and Plateau states.
He prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed.
The President directed the Federal Roads Safety Commission (FRSC) to improve highway monitoring and reduce the number of road accidents nationwide.
