Lere Olayinka, the media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory said the traders will be closing their shops to welcome President Bola Tinubu for the commissioning of the Apo-Wasa Road.
In a statement issued on Thursday, June 12, Olayinka said the road leading to the Apo Mechanic Village would be closed to vehicular movement.
He said, “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 mechanic associations have directed their members to close shops tomorrow, and resume business on Saturday,” Olayinka stated.
He further explained that 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 by President Tinubu at 2:30 pm on Friday.
