Traffic Diversions Announced in Ikeja, Lagos Ahead of APC Primaries
The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion in Ikeja ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Primaries scheduled to hold on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the APC State Secretariat on ACME Road.
To ensure free movement and reduce congestion, the government has issued a traffic advisory closing off the entire stretch of ACME Road to vehicular movement. The closure affects access from Adeniyi Jones, Lateef Jakande, and ACME Crescent ends.
“Motorists will not be able to access ACME Road from Adeniyi Jones, Lateef Jakande and ACME Crescent ends,” the advisory stated. “The entire stretch of ACME Road will be closed off to vehicular movement during the primaries.”
Alternative routes have been provided for motorists. Those coming from Adeniyi Jones are advised “to link Aromire to access Allen Junction and continue their journeys.” Similarly, those heading from Allen are urged to “use Aromire to link Ladipo Oluwole and access Guinness to reach their intended destinations.”
Motorists from Akilo Road can connect Wemco Road, link Lateef Jakande, or continue onto Omole to complete their trips.
The public is urged to avoid the area unless absolutely necessary. “If you do not have any urgent or necessary business around the ACME Road axis, please consider avoiding the area to ease movement and reduce congestion,” the statement advised.
Officials from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will be on the ground to manage traffic and ensure smooth flow throughout the affected areas.
