APC Lagos Rally: LASTMA Diverts Traffic To Alternative Routes For Motorists

By Akinwale Kasali

The All Progressives Congress, APC, is set to hold its Rally in Lagos on Tuesday, 21st February, 2023. Traffic congestion is, therefore, expected within the axis of Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos and adjoining roads.

Following this development, Lagos State Government has provided alternative routes ahead of the Presidential mega rally.

In a statement signed by the General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, Bolaji Areagba, on Sunday, the Government said the alternative routes would reduce inconvenience and travel time before and during the rally.

LASTMA advised motorists from the Local Airport to Maryland to use Kodesoh via Obafemi Awolowo to reach Kudirat Abiola through Ojota and connect to their destinations.

The agency said, “While the procession holds on the main carriageway on Ikorodu Road, the service lane will be available for use by the motorists without any hassle.”

The release, also, advised motorists from the Local Airport to Ketu-Mile 12 to ply Kodesoh through Obafemi Awolowo Way via Secretariat Road to Mobolaji Johnson Avenue through Ojota Interchange to Ketu and connect to their destinations.

The statement partly reads, “In order to reduce inconvenience, and travel time, and ensure the safety and security of all road users, adequate security and law enforcement personnel will be deployed along the entire dedicated routes to the stadium and alternative roads.

“We humbly seek the support and cooperation of all road users and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
