APC mega rally: LASTMA recommends alternative routes

The Lagos State Government has provided alternative routes ahead of the presidential mega rally of the All Progressives Congress slated for Tuesday in the state.

In a statement signed by the General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, 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.”

It 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 read, “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.”
