Lagos State Sector Commander of FRSC, Olusegun Ogungbemide, gave the warning on Monday in a statement made available to our reporter in Lagos.

Ogungbemide said that the Third Mainland Bridge was still under repairs and the diversion plan earlier issued to motorists must be strictly adhered to.

He said that the Corps was disturbed by the recent disruption of law and order where motorists drove against traffic.

“FRSC Lagos boss hereby wishes to warn against such act, adding that the Lagos Island bound traffic from Iyana Oworo would still experience unhindered movement from 12 a.m. to 1 p.m. and
vice versa.

“Motorists should note that orderliness has been restored on the Third Mainland Bridge and other part of the state.

“Motorists are advised to obey all traffic rules and regulations by abstaining from driving against the flow of traffic ‘One way’ to avoid crash and head on collision.

“Alternative routes for Mainland bound motorists are: Osborne Road Ikoyi to Carter Bridge can access Eko Bridge through Ijora Olopa to Funsho Williams Avenue.

“Also Dormanlong Bridge to Ikorodu or use Carter bridge to Iddo through Oyingbo to Herbert Macaulay.

One can also pass through Jibowu to link Ikorodu road then connect your destination.

“From Ozumba Mbadiwe Road you can link Falomo Bridge through Alfred Rewane to Awolowo Road or Osborne Road to Iluburin connect Carter Bridge can be used by motorists moving from Victoria Island to access Mainland,” Ogungbemide said.

He said that other option was for motorists to use Bonny Camp through Mekwuen/Independence bridge to Marina bridge through Apongbon to Eko bridge down to Ijora Olopa, Iddo – Oyingbo to Ebute Metta/Adekunle to Iyana Oworo.

Ogunbemide said that motorists could also link Adekunle to Iyana Oworo using the ramp bridge that was still open for use.

He said that if the lawlessness continued, the corps would clamp down on erring motorists, adding that the challenges faced recently by the state and the country had not changed the regulation governing movements on the said bridge.

He said that both the Carter and Eko bridges were fully open to the motoring public.

The governor gave this advice while presenting certificates of graduation to 26 indigenous students from the Ministry of Transport in Yenagoa.

It was reported that the graduates are the first batch of drivers, who completed training from the ministry of transport.

Dickson, however, urged the graduates to be of good conduct by showing that they had gone through the process of driving.

Represented by his deputy, Rear Adm. Gboribiogha John-Jonah (Rtd.), the governor lauded the drivers for their commitment during the training.

“To learn driving is different from just driving a car, I drove a car before going to driving school, so when I started, I saw it was a different thing all together.

“It is just beyond entering a car and start driving, it was when I went to the driving school that I knew that it was God, who saved me from accidents.

“Why accident occurs is because many of us do not adhere to traffic rules and signs while driving,” he said.

He promised to provide more vehicles and equipment for the driving school in order to admit more people for the next training session.

Dickson added that the training would further reduce road accidents and also make the society a better place.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transport, Mr Ere Efeke, lauded the government for the establishment of the driving school.

He urged the State Government to make it mandatory for every road user to pass through driving school.
