Tokunbo Oyenuga; representatives of the project contractor; senior officials from both ministries; officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA); and members of the media.

Officials assured residents and motorists that comprehensive traffic control measures, supported by LASTMA operatives and effective public communication, would be implemented to ease congestion and ensure safety throughout the rehabilitation period.
