“Motorists heading toward Costain, and Lagos Island from Masha/ Kilo and Surulere are advised to use Adeniran Ogunsanya or Bode Thomas to link Iponri or Eric Moore to access their destinations.

“On the alternative, motorists are advised to utilise Adelabu to connect Babs Animashaun/Eric Moore axis to link Brewery and access Costain or Eko Bridge.

“Also, motorists can use the aforementioned route to access Surulere from Lagos Island.

“Motorists heading toward Ikorodu Road from Surulere are also advised to make use of Akerele to link Ogunlana Drive inward Itire road and connect Ojuelegba to their destinations,” he said.

The commissioner assured the commuting public that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) alongside other security agencies would be on ground to ensure seamless flow of traffic before, during and after the match.

He appealed for the cooperation of the residents of Surulere community and all other motorists that would be plying the affected axis.
