Easter: OYRTMA Kicks Off New Operation On Roads

Posted on March 30, 2024

The Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA) has kicked off operation “SAFE TRIP: WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE” as part of its Easter Special Patrol Schedule across the state.

According to a statement from the Chairman / Chief Executive Officer of OYRTMA, Maj. Adekoya Adesagba (Rtd), the objective of the exercise is to ensure effective traffic management, timely clearance of obstructions, prompt rescue/emergency services on a 24-hour basis, and collaboration with other safety/security agencies in the state.

This operation covers strategic routes such as the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Olodo-Monatan-Iwo Road Interchange, Mokola-Sango-UI Agbowo-Oojo, Agodi Gate-Oje-Bere-Molete-Challenge, KM 110-Apata-Omi Adio, Total Garden-Yemetu-Bere, Oja ba-Agbeni, Oke Ado-Oke Bola-Dugbe-Adamasingba-
Eleyele, Oyo, Ogbomosho and Saki among others, before, during, and after the Easter Celebrations.

The operation, which commenced on Wednesday, 27th March 2024, through Monday, 8th April 2024, involves the full deployment of OYRTMA operational resources from all our commands across the State.

They will be stationed at strategic beats and choke points along major roads and intersections to monitor and address the excesses of recalcitrant motorists. This proactive approach is necessary due to the anticipated heavy flow of human and vehicular movement during the Easter Celebration, which may lead to traffic congestion, vehicle breakdowns, obstructions, and road traffic crashes.

Motorists are advised to avoid excessive speed, night travels, overloading, worn-out tires, and driving in prohibited directions (one-way), considering their associated risks.

Commanders across board have been directed to ensure that OYRTMA operatives and Mayors maintain a presentable, civil, professional, fair, and firm demeanor in the discharge of their duties, prioritizing the safety of the general public, particularly the motoring public.

While wishing Christian faithfuls a Happy Easter Celebrations, the Traffic Management boss urges all road users to strictly adhere to traffic rules and regulations.

Any vehicle found contravening traffic laws during the celebration period will face penalties (impoundment) and will not be released until the operation concludes on Monday, 8th April 2024.

For emergency situations, the public can reach out to the following hotlines: 09128888878, 07040700594, or 07058890036 – Toll Free Line.
