The advisory outlines partial road closures across key parts of the state to ensure smooth conduct of the events and the safety of motorists.
President Tinubu is expected to commission six major projects during the two-day window, including the Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge, Lagos State Geographic Information Service (LAGIS) building, Lagos Multi-Agency Building in Alausa, Lagos Fresh Food Hub in Abijo, Tolu Schools Complex in Ajegunle, and Maracana Stadium in Ajegunle.
The Lagos State Government emphasized that the temporary road closures are essential for safety and traffic management during the commissioning events.
The government urged road users to cooperate fully with officials, follow traffic instructions, and allow extra time for their journeys during the events.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, said during an interview on Channels Television on Tuesday, April 7, that while the Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge will be commissioned on Wednesday, it may take up to two months before it is open to the public.
According to Omotosho, certain finishing works still need to be completed on the bridge, particularly aesthetic and minor engineering tasks.
He emphasized that although the road is structurally ready for use, these finishing touches are essential before it can be fully accessible to commuters
The newly constructed Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge provides a direct and efficient connection between Ikeja’s Central Business District and residential areas in Ojota, improving mobility that was previously limited.
The purpose-built five-story LAGIS building offers one-stop access for geospatial, planning, and land administration services, the state government noted.
