Ogun FRSC calls for warning signs installation on Lagos-Ibadan expressway
The Ogun Command of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it will interface with the Federal Controller of Works to install warning signs on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to stem crashes.
Anthony Uga, FRSC’s Ogun Sector Commander, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Thursday in Ota that, since construction works had been completed on the road, warning signs were necessary.
“These signs have not been installed to caution motorists ahead of any danger in order to save lives and property.
“But there is the need for Controller of Works to urgently install necessary warning signs and other advance warning signs along the expressway to stem excessive speeding which had been major causes of road crashes.
“This will enable motorists to know where to exercise patience and reduce speed ahead of any eventuality that can lead to tragedy,” he said.
Uga assured that the FRSC would sustain motorised patrols along the highway to ensure sanity. The sector commander also said they would carry out public enlightenment programmes at various motor parks to sensitise drivers to the need to curb speeding and over-loading.
