The federal government has announced increased security
measures for Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary celebration.
Ahead of the October 1 event, security has been enhanced in
and around the venue – Eagle Square in Abuja.
Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, made the announcement
in a statement Tuesday night.
He noted that from midnight on Wednesday, all routes leading to the Eagle Square will be blocked.
The Shehu Shagari Way, Ahmadu Bello Way, outward and
inward-bound Airport and adjoining roads will also be shut to traffic.
Additionally, the Federal Secretariat will be evacuated by
2.00 pm on Wednesday.
“This means all workers within the precinct of the Eagle
Square are expected to vacate their offices from that time”, Mohammed said.
The government had declared Thursday a public holiday in
commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee.
