TRAFFIC ADVISORY:
The FRSC Ogun State Command is saddened with the avoidable lone crash that claimed nine lives , which was clearly attributable to negligence and silence by the passengers to report the continued use of the commutter bus despite it’s faulty condition .
The FRSC Ogun State Sector Commander Clement Oladele commisorated with the families of the victims of the gruesome crash and notified them to contact the FRSC Unit Command in Ijebu Ode on  details of the crash.
The Sector Commander has once again reiterated to passengers to alert the nearest FRSC or sister  security Agencies Patrol points, to report traffic incidences ,or alternatively call the FRSC Toll Free Number 122 , instead of submitting to the antics of some reckless  commercial vehicle operators to  drive them on a long trip in a mechanically malfunctioned vehicle and thereby  exposing these fare –  paying passengers to unnecessary risks on the highway .
The FRSC Ogun State Sector Commander
also admonished Motorists to drive with utmost caution especially around construction zones, due to the risks associated with construction zones.
The Sector Commander, accordingly enjoined Motorists to note that the areas where diversions were removed on the Lagos – Ibadan and the  Sagamu- Ijebu Ode  – Ore –  Benin  Expressways are still construction zones and they should therefore maintain the stipulated 50 km per hour maximum speed limit as well as refrain from overtaking till they are clearly out of construction zone, as violators are liable to prosecution.
The Sector Commander appreciates Mr. President and the Leadership of the Federal Road Safety Commission for the promotion of several Officers and Marshals, who were decorated across the country with their new ranks yesterday, including the FRSC Public Education Officer in Ogun State Command.
EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER:
To report a road traffic crash or road obstruction, please call the  FRSC Toll Free Number 122.
