“We, therefore, warn motorists to desist from driving against traffic, especially on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to avoid unnecessary loss of innocent lives. In addition, they should obey all traffic rules and regulations and install speed limit devices to reduce accidents on the highway,” Mr Uga said.
