he also extended his olive branch to the Ijoko Police Outpost, where, he encouraged and convinced, the Oba in council, Oba Matemi to bankroll the rebuilding of the outpost, after it was burnt and razed owing to communal clashes.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;

a signpost of his tall and excellent performances, is his unrivalled sacrifices during and post the Ill - fated #EndSars protests in Lagos, where he marshalled his men to thwart hoodlums attempted burn downs of terminals 1,2,3 of the Oshodi Transport Interchange, the first attempt at Mafoluku divisional headquarters, the Computer Village, Meiran divisional headquarters and the recovery of 13 Rifles and Cartons of ammunition looted by hoodlums from vandalized police formations across the state, especially the Isokoko division in Agege Local Government.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

it is no gainsaying that, his efforts contributed immensely in buoying the confidence of police personnel in the state, who were at that time largely suffering from the down syndrome consequent upon the unprecedented attacks and losses of personnel to extra judicial killings by hoodlums.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;

The impact of remittances on any economy is more profound in developing countries because they receive $307.1 billion of the total N416 billion inward remittances, amounting to about 74 percent.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 254, 0.95); box-sizing: border-box; line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, var(--global--line-height-body)); margin-bottom: calc(0.666 * var(--global--spacing-vertical)); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: calc(0.666 * var(--global--spacing-vertical)); max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Remittances also account for about 27 percent of the GDP of developing countries. According to the World Bank, remittances flows to the developing world have reached $414 billion in 2013 (up 6.3 per cent over 2012), and are now, behind foreign direct investment, the second largest source of external financial flows to developing countries.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">As Christians all over the world mark the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr Boboye Oyeyemi has felicitated with christian faithfuls in Nigeria, assuring them that the Corps is highly committed to ensuring a crash free celebrations all through the period and beyond.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></b><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">This was contained in his Christmas message in which the Corps Marshal reiterates his earlier calls for all road users to guide against violating established traffic rules and regulations and ensure maximum compliance with the laws and cooperation with law enforcement agents details along all routes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">According to a press release issued by the FRSC spokesperson, Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Marshal in his message also expressed gratitude to the Almighty God for protecting Nigerians against various social and security challenges, saying the period of Christmas should be devoted to giving glory to God for His favours and asking Him for more, instead of laying emphasis on merriments alone.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">He urged people to pray fervently for God's more grace to the country and protection for all Nigerians.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">The FRSC boss particularly cautioned travelers against dangers that go with road travels at this periods of increased human and vehicular traffic, stressing that people must show extra vigilance while using the road to overcome the annual carnage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">"Celebrate peacefully with your family at home if possible; but if you must travel to other places, then try as much as possible to observe all regulations and all the COVID-19 protocols including frequent washing of hands, wearing of masks and keeping to social distancing," the Corps Marshal said.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Oyeyemi further called on road users to support the ongoing road safety sensitisation programmes by the FRSC to address issues of poor attitude to road usage by people, saying such non committal attitude to road safety accounts for why the periods of Christmas and new year become the most challenging to the campaigns for safer road environments in the country.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">He further noted that while FRSC as part of its annual end of year special patrol has put adequate measures in place and mapped out strategies to address all the anticipated traffic challenges that could hinder free movement of people and vehicles, such measures would remain inadequate without cooperation from members of the public particularly, those that travel on the roads.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">He therefore, warned people against some specific offences like route violation, overloading, speeding, light signs violation and driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs which have been identified as responsible for most crashes and deaths that occur during the yuletide seasons.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">"People must prove through their obedience to traffic rules and regulations that Christmas and new year can be celebrated without loss of lives, road obstruction and gridlocks that characterise the periods," Oyeyemi stressed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">"All road travelers must observe these basic traffic rules to ensure the desired safety outcomes, not only during the Christmas and New Year celebrations, but beyond the seasons," he added.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">The FRSC Corps Marshal also appealed to Nigerians to cooperate fully with the FRSC personnel and other security agencies as well as stakeholders in the civil societies who have voluntarily joined in keeping the roads safer in the spirits of road safety as a shared responsibility.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;
