In anticipation of the visit from French President Emmanuel Macron, the Lagos State Government is putting finishing touches to plans for his reception.
The Lagos state Government also announced that there would be traffic diversion and restricted movement from 12 noon to 12 midnight on Tuesday, July 3, 2018 around the Alausa, African Shrine/Agidingbi axis.
Dr. Taiwo Salaam, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transportation, in a statement appealed for the understanding of residents, urging motorists to make use of alternative routes provided.
“While we regret the inconvenience that this might cause the public, especially those who live and work in the area, we appeal that you kindly bear with us during this period and make use of the alternative routes provided,”, Salaam said.
Macron will be hosted at the popular Fela shrine which was the general haunting ground of legendary Afrobeat singer Fela Kuti.
