Assuring that the diversion routes have been well marked with signs to assist Motorists in navigating their destinations, the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, also confirmed that officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be on ground along the affected routes to oversee traffic flow. He further advised Motorists to cooperate with the interventions to minimise inconveniences.
