Lagos-Ibadan Expressway not totally closed to traffic – Oyeyemi

The Federal Road Safety Commission has said that the Lagos-Ibadan expressway is not totally closed to traffic as claimed by the public.

Mr Bisi Kazeem, FRSC Head Media and Strategy said this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.

kazeem said it was only a section of the road that was closed.

The statement said the FRSC Cops Marshal Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, “Contrary to the wide held belief among the public that the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has been totally closed.

” I want to clarify that it was only a section of the road that traffic is being diverted to enabling the ongoing construction work along the road to progress without hindrances.

“We are not happy with the hardships being experienced by the commuters, but we know that it is only a temporary sacrifice that has to be borne by people to allow for unhindered work on the road.”

Oyeyemi appealed for patience, saying “when fully completed, the road users would heave a sigh of relief. ”
