End of the year: Yasin advises motorists, preaches moderation

A former President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Najeem Yasin, has advised Nigerians, especially the motoring public, to be moderate in everything they do while celebrating during the end of the year holiday.

He stated this as part of his end-of-the-year message to Nigerians, especially members of the union.

Yasin, who is also an immediate past deputy president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), said, “Moderation is the keyword in everything we do. Excess of everything is bad; hence I will implore Nigerians to embrace moderation in everything they undertake.

“As drivers on the wheel, be moderate in your speed; excessive speeding kills. Hence, our drivers should always be cautious and obey all the traffic regulations so as to arrive safely.”

He also cautioned drivers especially those on inter-state routes to always check and make sure that their vehicles are in good conditions to avoid unpleasant situation.

Yasin commended the President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and his administration for the efforts at revamping the nation’s economy.

“From what the government is doing, there is hope that the nation’s economy will begin to get back to normalcy. I’m appealing to Nigerians to exercise patience and show understanding with the government,” he said.
