Drivers urged to obey traffic signs
DRIVERS have been called upon to obey traffic rules and road signs as part of efforts to reduce road crashes.
“Every road user, especially motor vehicle drivers should know the importance of these signs, their meanings and why signs are placed around certain areas,” said Faustina Ndunguru, a senior official from traffic headquarters (public education department) in Dar es Salaam.
She was speaking over the weekend at the climax of the UN Global Traffic Safety Week (UNGRSW) which was locally organised by Puma Energy Tanzania.
The theme for the 6th UNGRSW was ‘Streets for Life #Love30’ calling for 30 km/h speed limits to be the norm for cities, towns and villages worldwide.
Abduction: Senate under fire over 15-year jail term proposal for ransom payers
Published 19 May 2021
Nigerians on social media have rejected the Nigerian Senate’s proposal of a 15-year jail term for Nigerians who pay ransom to kidnappers.
The PUNCH earlier reported that the Senate considered a bill that seeks to prohibit the payment of ransom for the release of any person kidnapped, stating that Nigerians who do so may risk 15 years imprisonment.
This bill did not go down well with many Nigerians as they have taken to social media to lambast the Senate, asking what treatment should be given to the government that had failed to protect its citizens.
