FRSC warns Abuja-Lagos motorists against using Ekiti route
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised people travelling through Ondo from Abuja to ply Akure-Ondo-Ife-Ibadan or Lagos-Ibadan-Ife-Ondo-Ore-Benin.
Acting FRSC corps marshal Dauda Biu disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Mr Biu also advised people travelling from the western part of the country through the state to the north to ply the same route.
He explained that the advisory became necessary because the Igbara-Oke-Ilara-Mokin route is totally blocked at the moment.
“However, in the interim, operatives, as well as logistics, have been adequately deployed to ensure speedy removal of the obstructions on that route for ease of movement,” said the FRSC statement.
