The Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA) has announced temporary traffic diversions and road closures ahead of the BOYE NATION/JAF Movement Concert scheduled to hold on Monday, September 21, 2026.
The Chairman of OYRTMA, Major Adekoya Adesagba (Rtd.), disclosed this while addressing journalists at the Authority’s headquarters, Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan, on Saturday.
He explained that the measures were designed to ensure smooth traffic flow and safeguard motorists, pedestrians and other road users during the event, which is expected to attract a large number of attendees.
Adesagba said VIPs with valid event stickers or entry passes would park at Gate 2, while other guests and attendees would use the Recreation Field opposite Gate 3, Sabo, as the designated parking area. He added that PTS buses would be stationed at the recreation field to convey attendees to the concert venue.
According to him, Gates 1 and 3 would be opened strictly to pedestrians, as vehicles would not be permitted to pass through the two gates. He therefore advised attendees to make use of the designated parking facilities rather than attempting to drive directly to the venue.
The Chairman further announced the temporary closure of roads leading to the stadium to motorists and members of the public who have no business at the venue, urging them to use alternative routes during the period.
He specifically stated that the Danax en route Sabo Recreation Junction and Queen Cinema en route Eko Tedo would be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic between 7:00 a.m and 6:00 p.m on Monday.
Adesagba appealed to motorists, commercial transport operators and residents within the affected areas to plan their journeys ahead and strictly obey traffic signs and directives from OYRTMA personnel deployed to strategic locations.
He explained that the temporary traffic restrictions were necessary due to the expected influx of people to the concert, stressing that the measures were intended to minimise congestion and ensure the safety of all road users.
The OYRTMA Chairman assured members of the public that the Authority would deploy adequate personnel to monitor traffic movement and respond promptly to any challenges that might arise before, during and after the programme.
He therefore urged members of the public to cooperate with OYRTMA and other security agencies, noting that compliance with the traffic arrangements would contribute to the safe and orderly movement of people and vehicles throughout the event.
