The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) on Tuesday said it would deploy more than 150 personnel on the Sagamu-Ore-Benin expressway during the yuletide.
Umoru Abudullahi, the Unit Commander, Ore Command, Ondo State, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the deployment was to check the excesses of motorists.
According to Abdullahi, commercial drivers are always in a hurry to make many trips during the yuletide, the situation which he said often resulted to road crashes.
“Let me assure the public that we will be on ground to check the excesses of motorists so as to have an accident-free Christmas.
“Over 150 personnel will be deployed on the Sagamu-Ore-Bennin expressway to ensure that motorists reduce their speed and comply with traffic rules,’’ the unit commander said.
He urged motorists not to speed so as to avert accidents during the festivities. (NAN)
