The FRSC boss, who said that the visit was the sixth exchange of brief between the FRSC and the state government, assured that they will relocate to head bridge, Onitsha to ensure that nobody passes the night on the bridge.
He explained that the briefing is usually to assess the traffic situation and draw joint implementation, pointing out that Anambra State government has sustained provision of logistics and assured that the directives of the governor will be implemented until the end of Christmas and New Year.
