Boboye Oyeyemi, MFR,
mni, FCILT, FCIPM. Corps Marshal and Chief Executive at Federal Road Safety
Corps, during an assessment tour of the ongoing construction on the expressway
on Thursday asked contractors to close the U-turns on the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway. He said that religious organisations who have properties along the
expressway should submit their programmes from now till December to enable the
contractors plan ways to ease vehicular movements and avoid unnecessary traffic
congestion.
Oyeyemi said traffic
jams on the expressway was due to the impatience of drivers who unlawfully
drive against traffic. He asked the construction companies working on the road
to reduce the U-turns on the expressway to just two.
He said:
“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.”
