Why travelers from Abuja, Lagos should avoid Ekiti – FRSC

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) warned travellers from Abuja and Lagos to avoid Ekiti State.

Acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Biu informed the public on Tuesday through the Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Bisi Kazeem.

The agency advised vehicle owners and commuters from Abuja, via Ondo, to ply Akure-Ondo-Ife-Ibadan or Lagos-Ibadan-Ife-Ondo-Ore-Benin.

Those traveling from Lagos and other parts in the South-West, also through Ondo, to the North were asked to ply same route.

The FRSC noted that the advisory was issued because the Igbara-Oke-Ilara-Mokin route is totally blocked for now.

Biu assured that operatives and logistics have been adequately deployed to ensure speedy removal of the obstructions on that route for ease of movement.

Factors including bad roads and the heavy floods Nigerians are witnessing, the worst in a decade, have made some routes impassable.
