According to Punch, LASTMA announced major road closures affecting Adeniji Adele, CMS and Marina routes on Lagos Island ahead of the Eyo Festival procession.
The advisory is aimed at managing crowd movement and controlling vehicle flow in one of the city’s most sensitive high-traffic corridors during a major cultural event.
Additional coverage by 36NG says the restrictions are tied to the Eyo Festival scheduled for Saturday, 27 December 2025, and notes the advisory was shared via official Lagos State channels.
Meanwhile, a related public notice circulated widely online reiterated that “Adeniji Adele, CMS, Marina routes will remain close for Eyo procession,” urging motorists to plan alternate routes.
Echotitbits take: Lagos is increasingly treating big cultural events like “security logistics operations.” The upside is fewer surprises for commuters; the downside is that last-mile businesses on the Island can take a hit. Watch for enforcement intensity on event day—and whether alternative transport and signage are sufficient to prevent gridlock spillover.
