The idea for the station came after FRSC corps marshal Boboye Oyeyemi visited Lagos Traffic Radio, a similar station on the air in Lagos since 2012.[1] Broadcasting began on a test basis on 12 November 2019,[2] but formal inauguration did not take place until 15 June 2021, when Vice President Yemi Osinbajo visited the station and did a short on-air shift.[3][4][5][6]
