The Lagos State Government has ordered communities operating gated streets to ensure that such gates are opened daily from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. during the festive period to ease traffic flow across the State.
This directive is contained in a statement signed by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on Tuesday, December 23, 2025.
Osiyemi noted that the government has also called on owners of gates and structures erected on public roads without prior approval from the Ministry of Transportation to remove them within seven (7) days of this notice.
