The alert is premised on the visit to Lagos Island by former President of the United States of america, Bill Clinton; and Nigeria’s President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
Clinton; Jonathan; and their host, the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, are due to commission the Phase 1 of the Eko Atlantic City project.
The project, an idea of the administration of Fashola, seeks to provide a new town in the state.
It is aimed at renewing Lagos Island, which has gradually been crowded by failure to comply with town planning rules and also to provide mass accommodation.
Major roads on Lagos Island are due to be closed before and throughout the duration of the programme.
The last time Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, visited Lagos Island for a ceremony involving largely women groups, traffic was at a standstill for over nine hours.
Major roads were closed to traffic before and during the event.
It was only after the First Lady left that the roads were opened.
The after effect of the closure of the roads left many commuters and motorists out until the wee hours of the following day.
