The
Federal Road Safety Corps, Lagos Sector Command has issued a statement alerting
motorists who intend plying the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway between Friday 1st to
Sunday 3rd July, 2016 to either move early or take alternative route to avoid
being trapped in traffic as a result of the various religious activities that
will take place along the major expressway.
According
to a statement by the corp, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (Holy Ghost
Service) and NASFAT Annual Ramadan Vigil will hold simultaneously today July
1st 2016 while Mountain of Fire Ministry will also hold its monthly power must
change hands program on Saturday 2nd July, 2016. This coupled with the on-going
rehabilitation work of the road makes it inevitable that there will be heavy
volume of traffic considering the number of worshippers that will be
participating in these programs.

alternate routes In and Out of Lagos.

routes suggested are as follows:
