Following Saturday’s governorship
election in Anambra State, the Federal Road Safety Corps has recommended
alternative routes for road users as movement will be restricted on the
election date.
In a statement issued by the
Corps Public Education Officer of FRSC, Bisi Kazeem, he listed the alternative
routes as: Abuja axis: Abuja-Lokoja-Otukpa-Obollo Afor-Nsukka-9th Mile-Enugu;
Enugu-Four Corner-Udi-Okigwe-Owerri.
The Lagos axis has three routes
which are as follows: Lagos-Ore-Benin-Warri-Patani-Port Harcourt; Port
Harcourt-Aba-Ikot Ekpene; Port Harcourt-Elele-Owerri-Okigwe-Enugu.
He noted that the alternative
routes became a necessity as the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety
Corps, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, said it was better to ply alternative routes than
being caught in any situation that could prolong motorists’ journey.
He said, “There will always be
travellers on the road, and it is the responsibility of the Corps to ensure all
motorists arrive their destination safely. This makes the need to publicise the
alternative routes through all available media outlets imperative.”
Oyeyemi further noted that the
Corps Marshal was assuring road users that operatives of the Corps will be out
to guide commuters and other motorists along the designated routes.
The Corps Marshal advised that
motorists should exercise caution and obey all traffic rules and regulations as
they embark on the journey since those alternative routes may be unfamiliar.
