To ease traffic congestion and improve road safety, the Federal Government has begun evacuating heavy-duty trucks that have been parked indiscriminately on the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
The enforcement, which started at the Anambra boundary, through the 9th Mile axis, to the Enugu metropolis, is being coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Works in collaboration with security and traffic management agencies.
Speaking during the exercise, the Federal Controller of Works in Enugu State, Smart Okpi, said the operation aligns with the Minister of Works’ directive to remove all illegally parked heavy-duty trucks obstructing traffic on the highway.
Mr Okpi stated that the ministry had notified stakeholders through press releases and media announcements before enforcement began.
