IN view of the heavy traffic in some major highways, the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has advised travellers to take alternative routes. According to a statement by Bisi Kazeem corps public education officer, on behalf of the FRSC, said that as  a result of heavy traffic flow and hilly nature of Akungba- Oka-Issua route (occasion blockage), motorists are advised to take the alternative routes highlighted below :

From Abuja: 1.         Abuja – Lokoja- Okene- kabba- Ayere- Ajowa- Ikare-Owo.-Akure-Lagos.

2          Abuja-Lokoja- Zariagi- Obajana-Kabba -Ayere-Ajowa- Ikare-Owo- Akure-Lagos.

3        Abuja- lokoja- Zariagi- Kabba- Omuo- Ilasha-Ikole- Itapa-oye-Ifaki- Ido-Itaore-Iwara junction – Erin- Ilesha.

From Lagos: 1          Lagos – Ibadan- Akure- Ilesha-Owo- Akure-Ikare-Ajowa- Kabba-Okene-Abuja. “The routes are shorter and better than Akugba- Oka- Issua route,” Kazeem said in the statement.

He said further: “FRSC corps marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, has already directed fortification of the highlighted alternative routes with more personnel and logistics to ensure safety and security of motorists while he advised extra caution and obedience to traffic rules.”
