By Toba Ajayi

The Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Kwara branch, has advised motorists against distractions while driving during the Easter celebrations.

RTEAN state Chairman, Comrade Abdulrahman Onikijipa, gave the advice in Ilorin on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Onikijipa, who is also the Chairman of Trade Union Congress (TUC), Kwara Chapter, advised motorists, especially its members to concentrate and not get carried away by the joy of the season.

According to him, most motorists easily get easily distracted during the festive seasons.

“Some drivers will increase the volume of their music and get inspiration while forgetting to obey traffic rules.

“Some motorist will start celebrating on the road, rather than to maintain their cool until they get to their destination before throwing party.

“Be discipline while on the wheels, focus and don’t get carried away by the joy of the season.”

The RTEAN boss also warned motorists to shun the habit of drunk driving and to avoid speed.

He wished the public a happy Easter celebration ahead and prayed for a safe and secured environment.
