The Katsina State Safety and Roads Traffic Authority (KASSROTA), has warned commercial vehicle operators against overloading and reckless driving in the state.

The Director-General of KASSROTA retired Maj.-Gen Garba Yahaya-Rimi, gave the warning in a statement on Friday.

The warning was during a meeting with various unions of commercial road users across the state and also block makers in an effort to sanitise them.

He, however, solicited the support and cooperation of their leadership and members of the unions toward achieving the desired success.

TYahaya-Rimi called on them to caution their members against overloading and any form of reckless driving to avoid unnecessary accidents.

He explained that the agency would no longer tolerate forms of reckless driving by some erring drivers.

The DG also cautioned the block makers by asking them to always abide by the rules and regulations and avoid doing their business on roads to avoid accident.

He advised tricycle riders to avoid overloading or underage driving among other offences.

In attendance at the meeting were the Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), the National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Tippers drivers, Motorcycle Union Associations and Tricycle Union Associations among others.
