The Lagos State Government has warned residents that there would be diversion in some routes when President Muhammadu Buhari visits the state on Monday and Tuesday.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information, Steve Ayorinde, quoted Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as urging residents to bear with law enforcement agents and traffic control authorities who will effect road diversions in some of the routes that the President motorcade will pass through during the visit.
The Lagos State Government will formally welcome President Buhari on Monday on a two-day working visit to the State.
It will be President Buhari’s first official visit to the state since he assumed office about a year ago.
The statement by Mr. Ayorinde said Monday would be the first time in about 15years that a sitting President will be visiting the State on a working visit and is a testimony to the landmark achievements in the last one year of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as well as the good working relationship between Lagos State and the Federal Government.
Mr. Ayorinde added that President Buhari, during the visit, would formally commission the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Rescue Unit in Cappa Oshodi built by the state government to ensure prompt and swift response to emergency situations in the state.
He said the President would thereafter commission the newly constructed Ago Palace Way in Okota, Isolo, after which he would pay homage to the Oba of Lagos, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Rilwanu Aremu Akiolu at the Iga Iduganran, Lagos Island.
The Commissioner disclosed further that the President would later in the day be hosted to a reception rally by the State Government at the Tafawa Balewa Square, (TBS) Lagos where he will also commission and hand over security equipment and vehicles contributed by the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode-led administration to securities agencies to beef up security in the state.
The release added that activities for the first day of the President’s visit would be rounded up with a State Banquet in his honour at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island.
The President will on Tuesday participate as the Special Guest of Honour at a breakfast session with Corporate Lagos to be hosted by Governor Ambode at the Lagos State House, Marina, after which he would have a short session with the public service at the State House, Alausa, Ikeja.
The Commissioner quoted Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as being joyous over this landmark presidential visit to the State that contributed so much to his emergence as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
