On Wednesday according to report hitting our news desk, President Muhammadu Buhari on an official visit to Lagos State and the Governor has stated that preparations are in top gear to host him in a grand style.
On Tuesday, this was announced in a statement issued by the state Ministry of Information and Strategy Lagos as it was revealed that during the one-day working visit, a number of state projects would be commissioned by the President.
“The projects to be commissioned include the rehabilitated 10-lane Oshodi/Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road, and the 170-Bed ‘Ayinke House’ (Maternity Hospital) at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja.
“Other projects to be commissioned include the Lagos State Theatre at Oregun in Ikeja, new 820 Mass Transit buses and the multi-level Oshodi Transport Interchange on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
“`The Presidential visit would hold between 9.00 am and 3.00 pm on Wednesday, during which traffic on some routes will be diverted in order to ensure a free flow of traffic,’’ The ministry detailed.
NNU gathered that the routes to be affected by traffic control include the Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way (coming from the Presidential wing of Murtala Muhammed Airport to LASUTH under the bridge); Kodesoh Road; Obafemi Awolowo Way; Kudirat Abiola Way and Ikorodu Road (between the Ojota Intersection and Anthony Interchange).
Other routes are the Oworonshoki-Apapa Expressway (between Anthony and Oshodi Transport Interchange) and the International Airport road through the Local Wing of the airport to Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way and back to the Obafemi Awolowo Way.
“Roads highlighted above shall only be cordoned-off when necessary, Obafemi Awolowo Way and portions of Mobolaji Bank-Anthony shall be closed to traffic on three occasions within the specified period, as they are central to the President’s itinerary,’’ it said.
Thus by reason of this statement, motorists are to avoid the above-listed roads where necessary and make use of alternative routes of their choice otherwise when it becomes for motorists plying the afore-mentioned roads, patience and cooperation with traffic managers should be their watchwords.
Support of motorists and commuters for all inconveniences as a result of the diversions was in the end solicited, saying that traffic managers, enforcement and security agents will be positioned at all strategic intersections to allow orderly vehicular movements.
