Oyo State Government has declared a temporary closure of key
roads in Ibadan ahead of the coronation of former governor, Senator Rashidi
Ladoja, as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The historic ceremony is scheduled to hold on Friday,
September 26, 2025, at Mapo Hall, one day after Ladoja’s 81st birthday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the organising committee
said the closures would begin at 7:00 a.m. and affect the following routes:
Beere Junction inward Mapo Hall, Born Photo Junction inward Oja’ba, Idi-Arere
Junction inward Oja’ba, and Itamerin Junction inward Mapo Hall.
The committee explained that the measures were necessary due
to the high-profile nature of the event, which is expected to be graced by
President Bola Tinubu and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
To ease traffic, the government designated three official
car parks for invited guests:
Ibadan North LGA Car Park, in front of the Immigration
Office, Agodi
The football field beside Yemetu Police Station
Liberty Stadium, Oke Ado
Shuttle buses will be available to transport guests with valid
entry passes to Mapo Hall. Vendors, meanwhile, have been instructed to arrive
between 6:00 a.m. and 6:45 a.m. to ensure smooth logistics.
The committee also clarified that only the official convoys
of the President and the Governor will be granted unrestricted access to the
coronation venue.
