The spate of accidents on Nigerian roads over the past few weeks has become a major of concern. A week ago, an accident along the Lekki-Epe expressway in Lagos claimed the lives of three people and left eight in critical condition.

On Wednesday, September 2, a heavy duty container skidded off the Ojuelegba bridge in Lagos and landed on two private cars, crushing the occupants of the vehicles.

On the same day,  fourteen people died and many others were injured at Ogunmakin on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in two crashes.

A recent report by relevant authorities has revealed that more than 120 Nigerians have died from accidents involving fuel tankers and articulated vehicles in the last five months.

Lagos state has been trying to combat accidents especially those caused by heavy duty vehicles. The state government has bared heavy duty vehicles from plying the roads during the day.
