The Apo-Wasa Road in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which is to be commissioned by President Bola Tinubu on Friday, will be closed to vehicular movement between 11am and 4pm.
Also, traders, mechanics and other shop owners in the Apo Mechanic Village have offered to close their shops on Friday, to enable them give President Bola Tinubu a rousing welcome, and witness the commissioning of the road project.
Consequently, the traders and mechanic associations have directed their members to close shops and resume business on Saturday.
A statement signed by Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, said the newly constructed Left-Hand Service Carriageway of Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) Stage II from Ring Road I (RRI) Junction to Wasa Junction will be commissioned at 2:30pm on Friday by President Tinubu.
Motorists are therefore urged to use other routes between 11am and 4pm during the period when the Apo-Wasa road will not be accessible.
Traffic enforcement personnel would be deployed to the affected areas to guide motorists and reduce inconvenience.
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) pleads with road users that will be affected by the temporary closure to bear with the government, while using alternative routes.
