Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has sympathised with the families of people killed on Sunday in the Ojuelegba accident.
Frederic Oladeinde, the commissioner for transportation, said this in a statement on Monday.Mr Oladeinde said nine persons died in the accident while the injured persons were taken to a hospital.
He said the accident would be thoroughly investigated to prevent a recurrence.
“We are working with the federal ministry of works and housing to install vehicle/truck barriers on the inward and outward sections of the bridge,” the commissioner said.
“We share the grief of those who lost their loved ones in the accident and pray that the Almighty will strengthen them at this difficult time.”
He, however, explained that the government would continue to implement its transport master plan, which had safety strategies that would ensure safer roads.
