FRSC alerts motorists on movement along Lagos – Ibadan Expressway

The Federal Road Safety Corps, Lagos Sector Command has alerted motorists who intend plying the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway between Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd July, 2016 to either move early or take alternative routes to avoid being trapped in traffic .

The expected gridlock is as a result of the various religious activities that will take place along the corridor .

According to a statement signed by the Sector Commander Hyginus Omeje, “The Redeemed Christian Church of God (Holy Ghost Service) and NASFAT Annual Ramadan Vigil will hold simultaneously on Friday 1st July, 2016 while Mountain of Fire Ministry will also hold its monthly Power Must Change Hands program on Saturday 2nd July, 2016.

This coupled with the on-going rehabilitation work of the road makes it inevitable that there will be heavy volume of traffic considering the number of worshippers that will be participating in these programs. The Corps therefore, advises, motorists who do not wish to attend the program to seek alternate routes in and out of Lagos.”

Alternative routes suggested are as follows: Lekki – Epe – Ijebu Ode to link Sagamu or Ibadan;Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway through Sango Otta – Owode – Sagamu Interchange and Ikorodu – Odogunyan – Sagamu – Ibadan.

“Motorists are hereby advised to cooperate with FRSC officials as well as other traffic management agencies that have been deployed to control traffic during the programs.”
