The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) has called for stronger collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the area of data harmonization to improve better service delivery in the state.

The most Senior Officer, TRACE, Commander Elias Omonayajo, made the call while receiving the new FRSC Sector Commander for Ogun State, Corps Commander Oludare Ogunjobi, at the TRACE Headquarters, Ajebo Road, Abeokuta.

Omonayajo reaffirmed TRACE’s readiness to support the FRSC, especially in road management and safety operations. He noted that accurate data collation and harmonization are critical to effective crash reporting and traffic management.

Data analysis must be accurate, and we must speak with one voice as traffic managers,” he said. “Our job is to control traffic, save lives and property, and reduce road crashes to the barest minimum.

He assured the FRSC of continued collaboration, stressing that TRACE would work harmoniously with the Corps and other road management agencies as one team.

In his response, Corps Commander Ogunjobi thanked TRACE for maintaining a strong relationship with the FRSC, adding that his visit was aimed at further strengthening the synergy between both agencies.

“As uniformed personnel, we must work together, cooperate, and support one another as sister agencies to achieve results,” Ogunjobi said.

He commended TRACE officers for their diligence, neatness, and selfless service, and pledged sustained cordial relations. He disclosed that both agencies would soon commence joint task force operations to apprehend traffic offenders, particularly those violating speed limits.

Ogunjobi also expressed readiness to work with TRACE on harmonized data collection, traffic reports, and crash statistics.

He paid tribute to past TRACE Commanders/CEOs, describing them as “generals” who were energetic, focused, and exemplary in traffic management.
