The Ogun State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, will deploy more than 900 personnel for a special patrol this Easter period to ensure a hitch-free celebration.
The Sector Commander, Mr Anthony Uga, gave the assurance in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday in Ota, Ogun.
According to him, the special patrol, to begin on March 29, would end on April 2.
He added that both regular and special marshals had been deployed for the exercise.
He said that the marshals would control gridlocks, tackle the breakdown of vehicles, and respond promptly to emergencies, especially accidents.
The sector commander said patrol vehicles, tow vehicles, and ambulances had also been deployed for quick responses to emergencies.
Uga said that the presence of the personnel would be felt on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Benin-Ore Expressway, Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode Road, Abeokuta-Ibadan Expressway, Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway and Ota-Idiroko Road, among others.
“We are appealing to motorists to adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations and reduce their speed, as speed has been a major cause of road crashes,” he said.
He advised against wrongful overtaking and driving against traffic.
