The
Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye
Oyeyemi, has asked the contractors on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to
close the U-turns on the road.
He added that religious organisations along the expressway should
submit their programmes till December to enable the contractors to plan
ways to ease vehicular movements.
The FRSC boss spoke on Thursday during an assessment tour of the ongoing construction works on the expressway.
Oyeyemi said gridlock on the expressway was due to the impatience of drivers who drive against the traffic.
He asked the construction companies to reduce the U-turns on the expressway to two.
“Drivers need to re-plan their journeys. If you have been spending
one hour, you should plan for an extra-hour. That is why we have
directed that they should reduce the U-turns to two. From Lagos to
Sagamu, the U-turns should not be more than two so that people will not
be driving against the traffic. From Sagamu to Ibadan, the construction
is going on well, so I don’t think we have any problem with that,” he
added.
