UN Bicycle Day: FRSC Zamfara command celebrates 4th anniversary
The Federal Road Safety Corp Zamfara Sector Command has joined the rest of the world to celebrate this year’s International Bicycle Day.
The United Nations at its 72nd General Assembly Session held on 16th April 2018 resolved among other things that the uniqueness, longevity, and versatility of bicycles that have been in use for over two centuries should be acknowledged and therefore declared the 3rd of June every year as the World Bicycle Day.
Addressing the journalists during the flag-off of the event at the Zamfara Sector Command of the FRSC, the Sector Commander Iro Danladi says the greener means of transportation is simple, affordable, reliable, clean, and environmentally fit and also fosters environmental stewardship and health
He enjoined members of the public to imbibe the greener means of transportation for their improved health and greener environment as against the motorized means of transportation that emit greenhouse gasses that constitute global warming
The Zamfara FRSC Boss calls on civil servants, School teachers, students, and parents alike to use bicycles while commuting to and from schools and places of work to harness the tremendous advantage attached to using bicycles as a means of transportation, among other non-Motorised means of transportation
Part of the activities making the day included riding bicycles from the Zamfara FRSC Headquarters along Bye-pass, Gusau to NTA Gusau, Prince International School, Gusau, and back to the FRSC Command Headquarters
A peloton of riders includes the Sector Command, FRSC Zamfara Command Iron Danladi, Personnel of the Command, Zamfara State Commissioner of Works Rabiu Garba, Special Marshals, NYSC/Road Safety Club members, School Children, and other members of the public.
