The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) has assured residents and road users of seamless traffic flow before, during and after the 2026/2027 election campaign period across the state. The Most Senior TRACE Commander, Cmdr.. Elias Omonayajo, gave the assurance while outlining the agency’s traffic management and emergency response strategy aimed at ensuring safe and uninterrupted vehicular movement throughout the campaign season.

Omonayajo said TRACE had concluded arrangements to work closely with other security and emergency management agencies to maintain order and minimise traffic disruptions during campaign activities. According to him, the agency has developed comprehensive operational plans to address traffic challenges, including vehicle breakdowns and other emergencies that may arise along major roads and campaign routes.

“We have mapped out strategic measures to strengthen collaboration with other security and emergency agencies involved in the exercise. Our objective is to ensure the free flow of traffic on roads leading to campaign venues, within host communities and on all exit routes before, during and after campaign activities,” he said. The Most Senior TRACE Commander disclosed that the agency would deploy its full complement of operational personnel, towing vehicles and traffic management equipment to promptly remove disabled vehicles and any other obstructions capable of causing congestion.

“In the event of any vehicular breakdown, such vehicles will be evacuated without delay to prevent traffic build-up and ensure the continuous movement of motorists,” Omonayajo said. He added that emergency response teams and ambulances would be strategically positioned in key locations to provide immediate assistance in the event of road crashes or other emergencies.

Omonayajo noted that political campaigns often attract large crowds and increased vehicular movement, making effective traffic control and emergency preparedness essential. He urged political parties, supporters, motorists and other road users to cooperate with TRACE personnel and comply with traffic regulations to ensure peaceful, orderly and safe movement throughout the 2026/2027 campaign period.

The TRACE Commander reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to protecting lives and property by maintaining efficient traffic management before, during and after all political campaign activities across Ogun’s 27 major traffic corridors.
