The Lagos State Government has announced the restriction of movement in the state as it goes to the polls for the local government elections billed for this weekend.
Information
and Strategy Commissioner, Gbenga Omotosho in a statement on Thursday evening,
said the movement will be restricted in the country’s commercial centre on
Saturday, July 24th between 08:00 am and 03:00 pm.
“The
restriction is to enable the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission
(LASIEC) to conduct hitch-free elections into positions of Chairmen and
Councillors in all the 57 Local Governments and Local Council Development
Areas,” the commissioner explained as he urged residents of the state to
participate in the polls.
“The
restriction will facilitate the ease of movement of the electorate, election
materials, and LASIEC officials for the sanctity of the election, effective
monitoring, and enhanced security.”
