Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) has warned motorists to obey all traffic rules and regulations as the 2023 Eid el-Kabir celebration approaches.
TRACE, in a statement on Sunday, threatened to impound vehicles driven by persons who violate traffic rules.
The statement signed by the TRACE spokesman, Babatunde Akinbiyi, charged motorists to “observe strict adherence to traffic rules and regulations because any vehicle contravened for any traffic infraction(s) during the celebration would not be released until Tuesday, 4th July 2023, when TRACE would have ended her Eid el-Kabir Operation Order.”
Akinbiyi avowed that the corps will ensure effective traffic management at Eid praying grounds in Ogun State with 24-hour prompt rescue and emergency services on 12 Ogun major roads, before, during, and after the Eid el-Kabir celebration.
The Eid el-Kabir Special Patrol schedule exercise, Newspot learnt, will commence on Monday, June 26 and end on Monday, July 3, 2023, on all major highways in the state, including the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
According to Akinbiyi, the activities would “involve monitoring of motorists and other road users, inclusive of high and low capacity vehicles, for the safety of lives and property to be guaranteed on Ogun roads.”
Meanwhile, TRACE operatives have been advised to be civil, professional, fair, and firm, where and when the need arises, in the discharge of their duties.
