The operation aimed to restore order and safety along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Traffic Regulation Enforcement*: Ensuring compliance with traffic laws to prevent accidents

• Environmental Law Enforcement: Removing illegal structures and sanitizes to maintain environmental safety
• Public Safety: Protecting life and property along the expressway.

OYRTMA, as a key agency, works to enhance free-flow traffic within State roads and ensure citizens comply with traffic laws. This operation demonstrates inter-agency collaboration, with Operation Burst and other agencies working together to address traffic and security challenges.

The operation aims to prevent unwanted accidents, ensure safety of life and property, and maintain order along the expressway.

The executive chairman of Egbeda Local Government, represented by his vice Hon. Ibrahim (aka Simple), paid an unscheduled visit to the Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA) Egbeda zonal command today, March 26, 2025, at 1346hrs. The purpose of the visit was to explore areas of collaboration and partnership, with a focus on adding a human touch to their operations.

Hon. Ibrahim commended the officers at the Egbeda Zonal Command for their outstanding performance and encouraged the management to sustain periodic briefings to address communication issues with some ad-hoc staff. During the visit, the entourage toured the complex to identify areas of need and took a group photograph before departing at 0234hrs.

The OYRTMA Sanyo Zonal Command recently held an orientation meeting with PMS Tricycle IBNW at the state headquarters in Ajimobi Park, New Garage, Ibadan. This meeting aimed to bridge the gap between transport operators and traffic management regulations within the zone and State.

Key Topics Covered:

– Directional/Route Violations: Understanding the implications of “one-way” violations
– Traffic Light Violations: Recognizing the consequences of non-compliance
– Task Force System: Establishing effective traffic control and enforcement mechanisms
– Traffic Laws Enforcement: Clarifying the basics of traffic regulation enforcement

The State Commander, PRTO Adesina Olamide D, led the orientation lecture, which was followed by a question-and-answer session. The State Chairman, Mr. Giwa Esso, expressed gratitude for the learning initiative and pledged to disseminate the lessons to all driving members of his branch.

The FRSC courtesy visit to OYRTMA Egbeda Zonal Command is a significant step towards fostering collaboration and synergy between the two agencies. The visit, led by the FRSC Iwo-Road outpost commander, aimed to promote a harmonious working relationship and address critical traffic issues in the area.

The team’s leader commended the current leadership at Egbeda Zonal Command and emphasized the need for a joint effort between OYRTMA and FRSC to tackle illegal parking and one-way driving at the Iwo-Road interchange. These practices are major contributors to avoidable traffic congestion and gridlocks in the exit axis.

This collaboration is crucial, considering the FRSC has 12 zonal commands across Nigeria, with each command overseeing several unit commands and outposts ¹. The visit demonstrates the commitment of both agencies to ensuring road safety and reducing traffic-related challenges in the region.

The Agodi Zonal Muster Parade Report for March 11, 2025, highlights a significant event where Mr. Ogunleke Johnson introduced a professional short course on Criminology and Traffic Management to officers and men of the zone. This course, spanning two semesters, aims to equip participants with valuable knowledge for career advancement and promotion.

Key takeaways from the parade include:

– Upholding Moral Standards: Officers must maintain high moral standards while performing their duties.
– Evidence-Based Law Enforcement: Video and photographic evidence are crucial for effective law enforcement.
– Duty Protocol: Officers should avoid clustering together while on duty and stay focused on their tasks.
– Accountability: Minimal attention to tasks and mere spectating during a moving convoy will not be tolerated.

These discussion points were emphasized by Commander Olalere R. O., the Agodi Zonal Commander, who also stressed the importance of professional certifications for career progression
