Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has urged the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to join hands with the state-owned traffic agency – Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), in managing traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
He said there was need to have a good traffic management on the Long Bridge/Kara corridor at a time construction work had slowed down as a result of the inability of the contractor to complete the work.
The governor, who received the acting Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Dauda Biu, in his Oke Mosan, Abeokuta office yesterday, described the pains travellers plying the almost three-kilometre section of the road experienced as painful.
He said the action of the contractor around the corridor was unacceptable.

The governor, hailing President Muhammadu Buhari for championing the reconstruction of the road, which was at 85 per cent completion, said he had called the attention of the Director of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to the slow pace of work on the road.
The acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Biu, commended the governor for his strides in infrastructural development.
He said the launching of its ‘Ember Months Campaign’ would help to reduce road crashes and injuries during the period.
Biu was accompanied on the visit by the Lagos Sector Commander, Segun Ogungbemide; Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kassim and Ogun State Sector Commander, Hameed Umar.
