The spokesperson said areas to be closed to traffic included; Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by Court of Appeal, behind Court of Appeal, ECOWAS by Women Affairs, Finance junction, behind Foreign Affairs, Kur Mohammed, by National Mosque and Benue Plaza.
Others are Nitel Junction, Phase 3, NNPC Towers, Ceddi Plaza bridge, Gana St. by Transcorp, DSS Headquarters Phase 1, NASS Junction, Bullet, and Bayelsa House,” she said.
Adeh said the arrangement was made for security optimisation and ease of transportation during the convention.
She urged road users in Abuja to cooperate with the police and consider the use of alternative routes.
