The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun Command, on Wednesday said it had deployed 125 personnel to ease traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The Sector Commander, FRSC, Mr. Ahmed Umar, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota, Ogun.
Umar said the deployment of the personnel had become necessary due to the ongoing construction work by Julius Berger on the expressway.
He added that the command had also deployed towing trucks for quick response to any breakdown or emergency, which might disrupt the free flow of traffic.
