Commissioning: Apo Mechanic Village Traders Close Shops to Welcome President Tinubu, Apo-Wasa Road Closed From 11 am to 4 pm Tomorrow

The Apo-Wasa Road in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which President Bola Tinubu will commission tomorrow, will be closed to vehicular movement between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Also, traders, mechanics, and other shop owners in the Apo Mechanic Village have offered to close their shops tomorrow to enable them to give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu a rousing welcome and participate in the commissioning of the road project.

Consequently, the traders and mechanics’ associations have directed their members to close shops tomorrow and resume business on Saturday.

The newly constructed Left-Hand Service Carriageway of Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) Stage II from Ring Road I (RRI) Junction to Wasa Junction will be commissioned at 2:30 pm tomorrow by President Tinubu.

Motorists are therefore urged to use other routes between 11 am and 4 pm tomorrow, when the Apo-Wasa Road will not be accessible.

Traffic enforcement personnel would be deployed to the affected areas to guide motorists and reduce inconvenience.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) pleads with road users who will be affected by this temporary closure to cooperate with the government and use alternative routes.
