Nigeria’s new President will be inaugurated on Friday 29 May at Eagle Square, Abuja. On the same day State Governors will also be inaugurated in their respective states. These inaugurations may "cause disruptions to travel, including road closures and increased security,” the United Kingdom said in a message sent to its citizens.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, has ordered the diversion of traffic on all roads around the venue of the swearing-in ceremony.
