The Lagos State Government has issued a traffic advisory for April 8 and 9, 2026, announcing partial closures on key routes to accommodate President Bola Tinubu's commissioning of major infrastructure projects. On April 8, traffic will be restricted between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm for the event. The advisory did not specify additional details about the projects or affected roads beyond the timeframe.
Bola Tinubu's presence alone still commands this level of logistical rearrangement. With the city's arteries closed for half a day, Lagos residents are left to absorb another disruption in a year where such closures have become routine rather than rare.
