 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry.

 LASG RELEASES TRAFFIC DIVERSION PLAN TO CONNECT DRAIN ALONG MODUPE ALAKIJA CRESCENT TO THE DRAIN ALONG THE MEDIAN ON OSBORNE ROAD, IKOYI, ETI-OSA LGA


In line with efforts to improve the drainage system on Modupe Alakija Crescent and its environs, there is a need to connect the newly constructed drains, via a cross culvert, to the underground channel beneath the median along Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Eti-Osa LGA.


The construction of this cross culvert will require cutting a section of Osborne Road (before Foreshore Towers). The work is scheduled to commence by 10:00 p.m. on Friday, 15th August, 2025 and end by midnight on Sunday, 17th August, 2025.


A traffic management plan will be implemented over the two-day period to minimise disruption. This will involve a counter-flow arrangement along Osborne/Alfred Rewane Road, spanning approximately 100 meters from Modupe Alakija Crescent to the Alfred Rewane Road junction.


Motorists heading to Osborne Road from Alfred Rewane Road will be diverted into a contraflow lane inbound Osborne Road, before reconnecting to their normal lane.


Motorists inbound Alfred Rewane Road from Osborne Road will be restricted to one lane to allow for the counter-flow.


Alternative Routes:


Motorists from Osborne Road heading towards Alfred Rewane Road should use Oba Adeyemi Oyekan Avenue to connect to Glover Road, Lugard Avenue, or Cameron Road to continue their journeys.


Likewise, motorists heading towards Osborne Road from Alfred Rewane Road should use Glover Road, Lugard Avenue, or Cameron Road to connect Oba Adeyemi Oyekan Avenue before continuing their journeys.


The road will be fully reopened to traffic on Monday, 18th August, 2025.


The Ministry of Transportation, through the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), will manage vehicular movement along the corridor to minimise inconvenience.


ADVISORY: Motorists are urged to be patient, as this partial closure is part of the traffic management plan to facilitate the ongoing drainage construction works along Osborne/Alfred Rewane Road.


Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, 


Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation.
