A group called _Enough of Felele Trucks Accidents Initiative_ (EFTAI) has launched out to ensure that the accidents are stopped, referring to the last one that claimed lives, worrisome more, is that of the youths and students of the Federal University Lokoja.

The group is calling on His Excellency, Governor Ododo Ahmed Usman (*#OAU*) to lead the effort by convoking among others, an urgent Stakeholders' Workshop that, will bring people together to brainstorm on the way out of these unfortunate needless crashes, which are causing untold pains and agony.

The group also stated that, it has started compiling and publishing simple daily industrial laws from the roads, using occurrences to help road users to avoid these crashes, in addition to the rules guiding general traffic. It added that, thus far, it has formulated about fifteen (15) from which it has released four (4) to the public in seven (7) languages of Okun, Igala, Ebira, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and Igala.

"The only propitiation we know for this accidents is to educate, enlighten and engage the users of the road, be it riders, _climbers_ , drivers, passengers, onlookers, road service agencies and continue to call on the Government to fix a design to remove the pressure from descending trucks/trailers cum consistent carrying out of orientation as reminders", the group submits.

In the statement signed by its Initiator, Comrade Onibiyo Dayo, It noted that, the group is not ruling out spiritual angles, but desire to leave that to religious heads to handle in their prayers and communion with God Almighty, reminding the public however,  that, there is always a place for prayers in our daily existence, noting that, even some people who chose to seat their house gets killed at times, citing examples of people whom vehicles knocked off in front of their houses or crushed in their houses.

EFTAI hinted that it has a design in sketch-form, drawn in scale that will help eliminate this accidents and even generate funds for the state, as it appeals to the state to adopt it among others. EFTAI insisted that, most of these accidents are due to break failures from careless owners of the truck, overzealous drivers of these trucks, overloading leading to weight distrust, drunkenness on the side of the driver (jokingly drunk trucks using alcohol as hydraulic or other purposes), handling of trucks by motor-boy to practice within town by their bosses or and tiredness by the drivers thus igniting sudden sleep while driving, pouring out that nature can not be cheated.

The Governor is our leader and progressive light bearer, who so far has being up and doing, and only needs to be brought to constant reminder of this, amongst several other contesting matters needing his attention, as we can't afford another accident. 

The campaign today, Sunday 27th day of April, 2025 hit day five (5) of drawing the Governor's  attention for needed action, and also educating members of the public, which  the group claimed is long over due.

It revealed that, it's membership rank is swelling by the day as more people are joining through the whatsap link of the group created as initial mobilization plan, as it makes passionate appeal to those with pending application to respond to the questions they are asked to ensure that hackers don't join the group, but people with genuie intentions.

The group also called on authorities of the State Polytechnic, the Federal University Lokoja, private investors, individuals, Government Agencies and other well wishers to identify with the missions and make them deliverable.

The Enough of Felele Trucks Accidents Initiative (EFTAI) enjoins members of the public to join this mission by sharing these laws with other road users and engage those they can reach one on one to help depeen the task and stop the accidents, which should not happen again.

"Please, let us share this messages, because we would have being saving our own lives unknown to us" the statement concluded.
