” It will go a long way in enhancing them to discharge their duties,” he said.

On efforts made by FRSC to reduce accidents on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Umar said the corps provided road-side clinic in Sagamu and partner with some private clinics along the expressway to take care of road accident victims.

“We have road-side clinic in Sagamu and I believe mobility from here to Sagamu is not less than 15 minutes if there is no obstruction on the road. We have another private clinic in Ogere that take care of road accident victims. We are making effort to have another road-side clinic here in Ogunmakin.

 

“The major cause of road crash on this expressway is overspeeding which we can attributed to nature of this road. Because of the expansion and smoothness of the road, people speed unnecessarily.

“What FRSC do is that, we are giving more enhanced logistics of new patrol Vehicles. In less than 7km, you will see our patrol vehicle, and that is how you will be seeing different patrol vehicles throughout the stretch of the expressway. This is a way to ensure there is prompt response to accident victims.”
