Sango-Ota (Ogun)-The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said on Sunday that it was collaborating with Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) to reduce gridlocks in Sango-Ota and its environs.
The Sango-Ota Unit Commander of the FRSC, Mr Olonisaye Olufemi, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota.
He noted that heavy traffic gridlocks were being experienced at the Toll-gate, Ojuore, Sango-Ota under bridge, especially on Sundays when worshippers going to Living Faith Church, Ota, drove against the traffic.

“The worshippers contributed immensely to gridlocks between 5.30 a.m. and 2 p.m. by increasing vehicle movement to the areas,” Olufemi said.
On his part, the Zonal Commander of TRACE, Mr Adekunle Ajibade, said that it would deploy manpower to those trouble areas to assist FRSC staff to decongest traffic jams.
Ajibade said that it would also bring a tow truck that would be used to clear obstruction by vehicles, especially commercial buses.
The zonal commander said that commercial buses were adamant and parked indiscriminately on the roads without considering other road users.
“The collaboration between the two parties will reduce road crashes and the number of accident victims especially when articulated vehicles lost control and ran into other road users,’’ he said. (NAN)
