TRAFFIC ADVISORY

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR SMOOTH FLOW OF TRAFFIC DURING THE APC PRESIDENTIAL RALLY IN LAGOS ON FRIDAY 30TH JANUARY, 2015 AT TESLIM BALOGU STADIUM, SURULERE

The Presidential Campaign Rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated for Friday 30th January, 2015 is expected to attract huge human and vehicular traffic around Lagos especially along Funsho Williams Ave, Eko Bridge, Ikorodu Road, entire Surulere and the Teslim Balogun Stadium Area.

In this regard, the Lagos State Government will deploy 500 LASTMA personnel and all possible traffic management measures to ensure minimum disruption to motorists and party members coming for the rally. The early morning traffic will not be affected likewise the afternoon traffic.

Priority will be given to pedestrians and mass transit vehicles conveying people to the rally. Vehicular traffic (non-rally related) would be diverted from Funsho Williams Ave at Ojuelegba towards Itire to link Ogunlana Drive to connect Eko Bridge via Bode Thomas, Eric Moore and Adelabu as at when necessary, while from Eko Bridge, traffic would be diverted to Ojuelegba, Agege Motor Road and Ikorodu Road via Costain, Eric Moore, Bode Thomas, Adelabu and Ogunlana Drive, Itire Road, Mabo, Fashoro and Bishop Street all in Surulere or better still to use the Third Mainland Bridge.

Rally commences at 7:00am. Please tune to Lagos Traffic Radio 96.1 FM for traffic information every 15 minutes.

The State Government appeals for caution and cooperation from all road users by obeying all traffic regulations and ensuring traffic flow during the campaign period.

Finally, the State Government, while regretting any inconveniences, has directed all relevant traffic agencies to ensure free flow of traffic.

GEJ keeps making progress!

Obiagelli:
I ask again is these the kind of trains world leaders are bringing to their countries?

Descartes:
This happening in your backyard yet you're not aware of it. Nwokem fear God o !

jayseehe:
The refurbished trains have arrived

No doubt, GEJ has performed in the railway sector, but it is far from good enough reason to earn my vote

Was Taliban fighting on US soil? Imagine comparing terror from foreign land to the one on Nigerian soil

Buhari faults crackdown on Boko Haram
JUNE 3, 2013

Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states.

Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government.

He also promised to involve serving and retired military generals to devise an effective strategy to crush insurgency in the country, if elected as President in 2015.

Its now a game of crowds .

Any way. I prefer a vacuum cleaner to a broom, and a digital president to analogue stone age great grand pa

Anonimi, this is a serious matter that should, as Bakare said, make us think. I made sure I stayed till the end before I left Ile-Ife even when it was getting late so as to give everything in detail. Please, let us just discuss. If there is any post-election violence, Buhari, Jonathan and the rest will be adequately protected. What happens to you and I? What happens to INEC ad-hoc staff? Think!

OrlandoOwoh:
In a public lecture organized by the Angola Hall, OAU, Ile-Ife titled "Beyond 2015", delivered by Tunde Bakare, he asked, though rhetorically, what would happen between February 15 when the election holds and May 29 when the winner is sworn in if Buhari wins. This question, with the groups of people he gave as strong determining factors that determine who becomes President, couple with his "I want you to think" statement, made everybody to be silent and think.
The groups, according to him, are:
1. The Council of State. It currently has Yakubu Gowon, Olusegun Obasanjo, Shehu Shagari, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Ernest Shonekan and Abdusalam Abubakar. With Buhari as one of the presidential contestants aside, whom will the rest six back as the next president, even though four of them are Generals like Buhari? Bakare also listed T. Y. Danjuma among them.
2. The traditional rulers. He asked whom they would support. He listed the Awujale of Egba, the Ooni of Ife, the Alaafin of Oyo, the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, etc. These people as well as their counterparts in other parts of the country are a strong influence on who emerges as president.
3. Pastors. He listed E. A. Adeboye, Ayo Oritsejafor and David Oyedepo. These men and other prominent pastors could influence their congregations.
4. Captains of industries like Dangote, Otedola, Elumelu, etc.
5. The people.
I ask again, just as Bakare did, what will happen between February 15 and May 29 if Buhari wins. This period, called the lame duck period in the USA, is too long for the lame duck (Jonathan) to do anything. This was the fear in the US that made the date of swearin - in to be moved backward from March to January 20.
