Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency, TRACE, has pledged twenty-four hours of emergency services across Ogun 18 major traffic corridors before, during and after the Eid El-Fitri celebration, in line with the operational guidelines of the Eid El-Fitri Special Patrol Schedule.
The agency also promised to ensure effective traffic management at Eid praying grounds across the state.
The Commander and Chief Executive of the Corps, Mr Seni Ogunyemi, said in a statement that the week-long special operations would end next Monday.
Mr Ogunyemi explained that the special patrol operation order 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 18 major traffic corridors.
He noted that the exercise would also involve all road users through the TRACE Traffic Whistle Blower Initiative, TRACE Emergency Traffic Service and the Community Based Traffic Management Scheme against the backdrop that safety on our roads is a shared responsibility.
The TRACE Commander directed Commanding officers to ensure that operatives of the corps are presentable, civil, professional, fair and firm, where and when the need arises, in the discharge of their duties, for the safety of the motoring public.
While felicitating the Muslim Umah, Mr Ogunyemi admonished them to reflect on the reason for the season and be safety conscious, as well as observe strict adherence to traffic rules and regulations because any vehicle contravened for any traffic infractions during the celebration would not be released until Monday, 15th April 2024, when TRACE would have ended her Eid El-Fitri Operation Order.
