The Lagos State Government has announced a temporary closure of parts of the Lekki Expressway to allow smooth hosting of the upcoming electric power boat race. The event, which will showcase modern eco-friendly watercraft, is expected to attract both local and international participants, boosting tourism and entertainment in the state.

According to officials, sections of the road will be shut down to ease traffic around Cowrie Creek, where the race will take place. Alternative routes will be provided to help motorists navigate the area during the closure. Authorities assured residents that adequate security and traffic management personnel will be deployed to reduce inconvenience.

The electric power boat race is part of Lagos’ broader plan to promote sports, tourism, and clean energy innovations. Organizers say the event will not only highlight the city’s growing status as a global hub for entertainment and leisure but also encourage more environmentally friendly transport options.
