Holiday road trips turning deadly? Not on NEMA’s watch! The National Emergency Management Agency kicked off ‘Operation Eagle Eye’ Thursday in Uyo, deploying teams to tame speeding, reckless driving, and traffic jams on Akwa Ibom’s busiest routes like the Calabar-Itu highway – partnering FRSC for a crash-free Christmas rush!
Head of Uyo Operations, Mrs. Mmandu Aisuein, flagged it off at NEMA’s office before hitting the road: Joint patrols eased congestion, assisted stranded motorists, and responded lightning-fast to a Toyota Sienna-motorcycle smash – first aid on-site, victim rushed to Itam Health Centre with a severe leg injury, no fatalities.
This annual yuletide blitz ramps up inter-agency muscle for rapid response across peak travel corridors, saving lives when festivities peak and roads flood – safe travels, Akwa Ibom.
