The Honourable Commissioner for Works, Highway and Urban Roads, Comrade Reuben Izeze has said that the enforcement of traffic rules on the Asaba- Onitsha Expressway was of paramount importance for easy flow of traffic while rehabilitation is taking place.

Mr. Izeze made this declaration when the Delta State Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps, Mrs. Joyce Alexander paid him a working visit in his office in Asaba.

He further emphasized that the FRSC Delta Sector Command should put  traffic diversions and also sensitize the public on the need to be orderly while plying that particular portion of the road.

Speaking on the issue of the delay on the rehabilitation of the failed portion of the road he said that the Delta State Government earlier made the move twice but were stopped by the Federal Government who insisted that the road rehabilitation had been awarded.

Speaking earlier the Delta State Sector Commander, Mrs. Joyce Alexander stated that key among the reasons for their visit was to bring to the fore the deplorable State of the Asaba- Onitsha Expressway.

Mrs. Alexander said that since work has commenced on the road there is need for palliative measures on the portion of the road where traffic had been diverted.

She noted that such palliative would aid the smooth flow of traffic while work is on going, especially during the yuletide period.

The high point of the visit was the presentation of a complimentary plaque to the Honourable Commissioner for Works, Highway and Urban Roads, Comrade Reuben Izeze
