“Some of the accidents recorded could have been avoided if the motorists were driving within the speed limit.
“Most of the roads are not in good condition and if drivers were observing the speed limit, they would have the advantage of avoiding ditches and potholes on the roads,” he said.
He, however, lauded the Osun government for redressing the situation through road construction and rehabilitation.
Husaini called on motorists to observe road safety rules, vowing that anyone caught violating the law would be apprehended and prosecuted (NAN)
