300 LASTMA officials deployed for 2nd Lagos City Marathon
The Lagos State Government on Wednesday said over 300 officials would be deployed for the Lagos City Marathon coming up on Saturday to ensure free flow of traffic in the state.
The 42 kilometres marathon which will host world athletes will start from the National Stadium, Surelere and ends at the Eko Atlantic.
At a press briefing on preparation for the event, the State’s Acting Commissioner for Transportation, Olarenwaju Elegushi, called on residents to support the government for successful hosting of the event.
According to him, traffic will be restricted on the day of the event adding that alternative routes have been created for motorists.
“It is our plan to mount and deploy adequate traffic diversion signs and personnel to monitor and montage traffic. The routes will be open as soon the last runner leaves each point to ensure the traffic is not held for too long,” Elegushi said.
He assured Lagos residents that government is committed to ensure that their programmes are not impaired during the event.
