The Coronation Organising Committee has announced traffic diversions in Ibadan ahead of the installation of the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, on Friday, September 26, at Mapo Hall.
In a statement on Tuesday, the security sub-committee chaired by former CCII President, Chief Bayo Oyero, said the diversions were necessary due to the attendance of President Bola Tinubu.
From 7:00 a.m., routes to be closed include Beere Junction inward Mapo Hall, Born Photo Junction inward Oja’ba, Idi-Arere Junction inward Oja’ba, and Itamerin Junction inward Mapo Hall.

Only the convoys of President Tinubu and Governor Seyi Makinde will be permitted direct access to Mapo Hall.
