Lagos has announced temporary traffic diversions around Victoria Island as the city hosts ECOWAS’ 50th anniversary event from May 27–29. Tinubu is expected to speak.
- Event spans May 27–29 at Eko Hotels and NIIA House, Victoria Island
- Tinubu will deliver remarks on ECOWAS' economic achievements
- Diversions affect routes like Adetokunbo Ademola, Ozumba Mbadiwe, and Bonny Camp
- Alternate routes include Civic Centre, Falomo ramp, Ahmadu Bello Way, and Kofo Abayomi
- LASTMA officials will guide motorists and manage traffic flow
The ECOWAS@50 celebration is a significant diplomatic milestone, but for Lagosians, it also means bracing for gridlocks. With Victoria Island, a major commercial hub at the heart of the activity, the state has rolled out a detailed plan to redirect traffic and ease movement. While the diversions may test patience, they reflect Lagos’ balancing act: hosting global events while trying to keep the city moving.
If you’re heading into or around Victoria Island this week, plan or risk getting stuck in celebration traffic.
