Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has said that the contractor handling the Lagos-Ibadan expressway would be held accountable for his failure to provide safety signs on the road which had in recent times led to the preventable loss of lives on the highway.
Prince Dapo Abiodun stated this during an on-the-spot assessment of the scene of tanker inferno that claimed five lives
at Ogere toll gate.
Governor Abiodun who said that safety measures were not in place on the expressway, called on the contractor handling the project to expedite action in doing the needful.
He commended the Federal Road Safety Corps and the fire service for their efforts while calling on people in the area to stay away from the scene of the accident as arrangements were being made to transship the petroleum products from the affected truck to another truck.
While commiserating with the families of those who lost their loved ones in the inferno, Governor Abiodun urged the motorists passing through the expressway to drive responsibly.
