He said that the command, on its part, had made plans to deploy more men on the roads to enhance safety and ease traffic during the period.
The Director, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Gombe State, Mr Ado Solomon, also advised people to always obey the traffic lights to avoid accidents in the state.
Solomon urged parents to send their children to driving schools before releasing their cars to them to drive, especially during the festivities.
