The development created gridlock around ACME Road and other roads, forcing vehicles to take alternative routes to access their destinations.
Hundreds of delegates from the different council areas are being screened for accreditation.
Addressing newsmen briefly before the commencement of the delegates accreditation, the Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee, Mr Babatunde Ogala, called for fair reportage from the media.
Ogala, who asked the media of their assessment of the venue, said that the committee had provided adequate security for all the participants.
According to him, though the accreditation was supposed to start at 9.00am, the committee delayed commencement by some minutes to ensure delegates coming from far places were part of the process.
