Federal Road Safety Corps, has assured motorists that its officials would be deployed to alleviate their sufferings during the temporary diversion on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Ogun State Command, which gave the assurance, corrected the erroneous impression by reiterating that the Corps was not closing the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Its Sector Commander, Clement Oladele, said the facts as contained in the Command’s Traffic Advisory of tuesday remained that Sagamu-bound traffic would be diverted from the Lagos-Sagamu carriageway at Km 26, about 200 meters from the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Car Park C U-turn, to Km 28, just after the RCCG Main gate.

Oladele said this was to enable Julius Berger Nigeria Plc to carry out rehabilitation works on the closed stretch of the Lagos-Sagamu carriageway, saying the road rehabilitation would last for a period of eighteen weeks, from Sunday, September two, twenty-eighteen till tuesday, January fifteen twenty-nineteen.

He reassured motorists that their operatives would be available to alleviate the discomfort the temporary diversion may cause, emphasising the command’s commitment to ensure traffic flows without obstruction, especially at the traffic diversion stretch during the period of the diversion of traffic.

The sector commander, however, advised members of the public to call the FRSC toll free number, in case of any emergency.
