Nigeria vs Lesotho: Lagos shuts all roads to Teslim Balogun Stadium

Lagos State Government said it will close all vehicular movement around the Teslim Balogun Stadium, venue of the live football match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Crocodiles of Lesotho for 12 hours Tuesday.

The Commissioner of Transportation Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, who announced this on Monday, said the closure was necessary in order to effectively manage traffic and tighten security at the Stadium.

In line with this development, motorists are advised to avoid movement around the stadium from 10.00am. Traffic approaching Teslim Balogun from Ojuelegba and Alaka/Eric Moore can only pass through the flyover.

The statement further explained that only vehicles with VVIP stickers or tickets would be allowed to approach the stadium and park, also vehicles conveying persons with VVIP tickets would be permitted to drive into the Teslim Balogun Stadium.

Oladeinde appealed to motorists that use the corridor frequently to cooperate with the LASTMA officials that will be deployed to manage the traffic flow as it will ease movement and minimize expected inconveniences. (The Nation)
