The committee organizing the coronation of the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has declared traffic diversions in Ibadan in preparation for the ceremony billed for Friday, September 26, 2025, at Mapo Hall.
In a traffic advisory released on Tuesday, the security sub-committee, operating under the main committee led by former CCII President, Chief Bayo Oyero, explained that the diversions were required because President Bola Tinubu will be in attendance.
The advisory stated that from 7:00 a.m. on Friday, the affected routes will be closed. These routes are Beere Junction leading to Mapo Hall, Born Photo Junction leading to Oja’ba, Idi-Arere Junction leading to Oja’ba, and Itamerin Junction leading to Mapo Hall.
To facilitate guest movement, the committee has designated three official parking locations: the Ibadan North Local Government car park opposite the Immigration Office, Agodi; the football field beside Yemetu Police Station; and Liberty Stadium, Oke Ado.
The committee also announced that shuttle buses will be provided to transport well-wishers with valid invitation cards from the designated parking areas to Mapo Hall.
Food vendors and other traders were advised to arrive at the venue between 6:00 a.m. and 6:45 a.m., before the road closures take effect.
The committee added that only the convoys of President Tinubu and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde will be allowed to use the restricted routes leading directly to Mapo Hall.
