Oseni Hamzat, the Corps Commander, Corridor 1 of the Federal Road Safety Corps(FRSC), has decried the behaviour of some motorists on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway despite the ongoing repairs.

Hamzat expressed his dissatisfaction on Wednesday, while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, adding that the traffic congestion on the road is mostly caused by road users and not poor traffic management.

“We have lots of vehicles plying along that road and choking into that and to worsen situations. There are some vehicles, especially these yellow buses, and people who think they are high and mighty, driving against the flow of traffic,” he said.

“How do you relate with somebody who is carrying one moneybag and has armed men and they come in convoys, beating both road safety, LASTMA, and even the deployed police at different points, including TRACE?

“They are driving recklessly; they are ready to hit anybody, knock anybody down. And they would go forward to go and block other vehicles coming either in or out.”

Hamzat, however, disclosed that the corps and other road agencies were making efforts to carry out “route lining” to ensure commercial drivers do not stop indiscriminately and obstruct the movement of traffic.
