Sequel to the visit of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, to Ogun State, the state Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), has issued a traffic advisory to road users to make their journeys smooth during the presidential visit.

Babatunde Akinbiyi, TRACE Public Relations Officer in a statement said the newly reconstructed Abeokuta-Kobape-Siun-Sagamu Interchange will be closed to traffic from 0600hrs (6am) to 1600hrs (4pm), while the Ijebu/Ode-Mojoda-Epe Expressway, will be closed to traffic from 0600hrs (6 am) to 1300hrs (1 pm).

Similarly, adjoining/feeder highways from Siun-Iperu Remo and vice versa, as well as, Siun-Owode Egba-Ofada-Mowe Ibafo and vice versa along the Abeokuta-Kobape-Siun-Sagamu Interchange will also be closed to traffic.

“However, while the closure lasts, the following alternative routes can be considered to and fro Abeokuta and Ijebu-Ode depending on your entry point and destination:

“Abeokuta-Ifo-Sango-Iyana/Ipaja-Ikeja and vice versa.
