The Presidential Inauguration Ceremony is scheduled to take place in Eagle Square in Abuja on May 29. The Nigeria Police Force has established traffic detours.

The Goodluck Jonathan Expressway by Court of Appeal, Deeper Life Junction, Bond/Total Filling Station, POWA/FCDA Junction, Finance Junction by ECOWAS/Women Affairs, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the diversion points, according to a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer in the Federal Capital Territory, SP Josephine Adeh, on Friday.

Other detour spots are Eagle Square (Phase 1 and Phase 11), Kur Muhammad Way / National Mosque, Abia House, NITEL Junction near Ademola Adetokunbo, and Gana Junction/Transcorp, according to Adeh.

“Traffic will also be diverted at Bayelsa House by Federal High Court, Aso Drive, Ceddi Plaza, NNPC Twin Tower and NNPC/NBS.”

In order to ensure a secure and orderly inauguration, the SP said that the leadership had also distributed personnel and material resources, including intelligence and tactical assets, throughout the FCT.

She claimed that by taking these steps, the inauguration will be calm and any harm to the country’s democratic process will be avoided.

Adeh went on to say that the operational deployment was characterized by visibility police across the entire region, stop-and-search duties, raids on “black spots” led by intelligence, surveillance, and vehicle/foot patrol.

“The command equally wishes to notify the public of proposed fireworks scheduled to take place on the eve of the inauguration, midnight of May 28 at the City Gate and the Millennium Tower, to usher in the new administration.

“The fireworks will be carried out by Messrs Innate Arts and Media,” she said.
