Security expert Moruf Yusuf, popularly known as Ojogbon, has called on pedestrians to cultivate responsible road-crossing habits, stressing that safety on the roads depends on caution, patience and strict adherence to traffic rules.
The advice is contained in Series #104 of The Secure Mind, his daily security awareness campaign focused on promoting public safety, accident prevention and responsible citizenship.
According to Yusuf, every road user should approach crossing and walking with care, sound judgment and constant awareness of their surroundings, noting that safe movement begins with obeying traffic regulations and remaining alert to potential hazards.
He advised pedestrians to use designated crossings, pedestrian bridges and traffic lights where available, while avoiding distractions such as mobile phones, headphones or other activities that reduce concentration when walking along or crossing roads.
Yusuf also emphasized the crucial role of parents and guardians in teaching children road safety from an early age. He encouraged adults to hold young children by the hand, keep them on the safer side away from moving traffic and never allow them to cross roads unaccompanied.
He noted that developing safe road habits is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to reduce preventable injuries and save lives.
"Safe road habits save lives. Every crossing should begin with caution and end in safety."
Moruf Yusuf is a security expert and public safety advocate committed to promoting security awareness through The Secure Mind series. He is a member of the Association of Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (ANIPR), the International Security Network (MISN), the Chartered Institute of Administration (FCAI), the Institute of Information Management (FIIM) and the Society for Peace Studies and Practice (MSPSP).
He concludes every edition with his signature message:
"Just be good. Reflect. Stay alert."
