The
Lagos State Government has announced the restriction of vehicular movement
during the Local Government and Local Council Development Areas elections
holding across the state on Saturday, July 22, 2017.
The
State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, in a
statement on Sunday, said the restriction of movement across the state will be
enforced between 8 am and 2 pm on Saturday, July 22, to allow for a smooth
conduct of the polls and unhindered participation.
He
explained that the restriction will allow the Lagos State Independent Electoral
Commission and the security agencies to distribute electoral materials in good
time and ensure the sanctity of free and fair electoral process.
According
to the Commissioner, the state is known for the peaceful conduct of elections.
He, therefore, urged residents to be peaceful and orderly on Saturday and cast
their votes in their respective wards for Chairmen and councillors who are
expected to drive development at the third tier of government.
