Lagos govt advises commuters on movement ahead of Dangote Refinery commissioning

The Lagos State government on Monday urged the people of the state to plan their movement along the Lekki-Epe corridor on May 22.

President Muhammadu Buhari will inaugurate the Dangote Refinery located on the Lekki-Epe axis on that date.

The state’s Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, said in a statement the warning had become imperative because of the high vehicular movement expected on the axis because of the project commissioning.
