As Super Eagles prepare to face Lesotho in their Africa Cup of Nations last qualifying match on Tuesday, the Lagos State government says it would enforce a partial restriction of traffic movement in Surulere and environs.
This was contained in a travel advisory signed by Executive Chairman, Lagos State Sports Commission, Sola Aiyepeku, on Monday.
The match between Nigeria and Lesotho is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, March 30, 2021, at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere.
Aiyepeku noted that “there will be partial restrictions of vehicular movements in and around the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere on Tuesday from 10 am to 10 pm.
“Vehicles approaching Teslim Balogun from Ojuelegba and Alaka/Eric Moore can only use the flyover, as no car will be allowed to pass in front of the National Stadium and Teslim Balogun Stadium without a special pass.
“Only vehicles with VVIP stickers or Tickets can be allowed to approach the National Stadium. Vehicles with VVIP Stickers or carrying persons with VVIP Tickets will also be permitted to access the Teslim Balogun Stadium.
“ONLY cars containing passengers with tickets can approach and enter National stadium to park. Also, pedestrians without tickets will not be allowed to come close to either of the two stadia.”
The Chairman, however, appealed to Lagosians to abide by the travel advisory, regretting any inconvenience the restriction on vehicular movements may cause during the period of closure.
