TRACE Deploys Operatives For Easter Traffic Control, Announces 24-Hour Emergency Response In Ogun

The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) has announced plans to ensure effective traffic management and round-the-clock emergency and rescue services across 27 major traffic corridors in the state during the Easter celebrations.

In a statement issued by the office of the agency’s most senior commander, Cmrd. Elias Omonayajo, the special operation commenced on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, and is scheduled to end on Friday, April 10, 2026.

According to the agency, an increase in human and vehicular movement is anticipated during the festive period, alongside possible challenges such as vehicle breakdowns, road obstructions, overloading, excessive speeding, drunk driving, and road crashes.

To address these concerns, TRACE said it has deployed additional personnel and engaged its voluntary arm, TRACE Mayors, to monitor strategic locations and traffic-prone areas across the state.

The agency also noted that it would collaborate with other security and safety agencies, particularly the Ogun State Emergency Medical Services and Ambulance System (OGSEMSAS), under the state’s security architecture to ensure the safety of lives and property.

Field commanders have been directed to ensure that operatives maintain professionalism, civility, and fairness while carrying out their duties.

While extending Easter greetings to Christians, the TRACE leadership urged motorists to strictly adhere to traffic rules and regulations.

It warned that any vehicle impounded for traffic violations during the period would not be released until Monday, April 13, 2026, after the conclusion of the special operation.

For emergencies and feedback, the agency provided the following contact lines: 112 (toll-free), 0706 942 5555, 0806 270 3568, and 0803 491 9165.

TRACE also assured the public that its social media platforms would provide real-time traffic updates, alerts, and advisories throughout the period.
