The Lagos State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr. Olusegun Ogungbemide, would monitor vehicular movement/sensitization of motorists plying the ever-busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Wednesday, July 1, 2020.
This is following the Federal Government’s announcement on Monday, June 29, 2020, on the lifting of restriction on interstate travel imposed since May 4, 2020, in a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
The lifting of the interstate travel ban takes effect from Wednesday, July 1, 2020, but outside the curfew hours between 10p.m and 4a.m.
Ogungbemide, in a statement by the command’s Public Education Officer, Olabisi Sonusi, on Tuesday in Lagos said that the step had become necessary because of the anticipated increase in the volume of traffic.
