By SALISU MARAFA
NORTHERN governors have been urged to emulate Kano state government by executing developmental projects.
The appeal was made by the newly appointed chairman of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Colonel Lawal Gwadabe (rtd) when he paid a courtesy call on Kano state deputy governor, Engr. Abdullahi Tijjani Muhammad Gwarzo in his office yesterday.
Colonel Gwadabe commended Kano state government for creating eight centres for free medical treatment for the victims of road accidents and recent road rehabilitation exercise.
The FRSC boss however, expressed dismay on the fact that despite efforts to reduce road accidents, the situation still persists alarmingly.

CORRIGENDUM
It’s NPS not NIS The printer’s Devil visited us yesterday, whereby on a kicker to our banner headline we reported NIS saying there were 29,000 inmates in 228 prisons awaiting trial.
It was the NPS who said so, not the NIS. The error is regretted.
