The Apo-Wasa road in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will be temporarily closed to vehicular movement between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm on Friday as President Bola Tinubu commissions the newly constructed road project.
According to a statement by Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, traders and mechanics at the Apo Mechanic Village have voluntarily decided to close their shops to participate in the commissioning ceremony and give the President a warm welcome.
"Consequently, the traders and mechanic associations have directed their members to close shops tomorrow, and resume business on Saturday," the statement read.
