Apo Mechanic Village Traders on Friday closed down their businesses to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the commissioning of the Apo-Wasa road.
The Apo -Wasa road commission is part of the projects to mark President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second year in office.
In a statement issued by Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Barr. Nysome Wike, the Apo-Wasa road will be closed to vehicular movement between 11am and 4 pm on Friday.
“Motorists are therefore urged to use other routes between 11am and 4pm tomorrow, when the Apo-Wasa road will not be accessible.”
Olayinka also disclosed that traders, mechanics, and other shop owners in the Apo Mechanic Village have offered to close their shops on Friday, 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 mechanic 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 2:30pm , by President Tinubu.
“Traffic enforcement personnel would be deployed to the affected areas to guide motorists and reduce inconvenience.”
