The Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA) has stormed the Sabo Area of Ibadan Metropolis to clear all indiscriminately parked vehicles and wares abandoned on the road causing perpetual and avoidable traffic loggerheads that results in untold hardship on commuters and all road users along the route.

This, according to the Authority is sequel to several public complaints and official petitions coupled with multiple road crashes that has for some time characterized travel experience of motorists in and around the axis.

Addressing newsmen during and after the exercise, the Executive Chairman of OYRTMA, Mogaji Akin Fagbemi explained that the move is not to spite any persons, tribe or religion but to ensure the safety of all road users within the entire territory of Oyo State particularly along the Sabo-Mokola road.

In his words, the OYRTMA Boss said: “This exercise is aimed at enthroning sanity on the Sabo-Mokola route. It is specifically to ensure the safety of all road users, minimize travel time and eliminate road crashes that has recently surged along the route because of the indiscriminate parking and laissez-faire attitude of some vehicle owners around the area. We have received multiple public complaints through official letters by concerned residents in Sabo itself as well as numerous social media calls to sanitize the area. We had explored our Community Traffic Management System (CTMS) over some months in the area”.
