Lagos rain is a case study because the excuse that the flood is delaying road rehabilitation is truly a mystery. It indicates Envmtl Impact Reports and other preliminaries findings on existing roads managed by the same LASG have been overlooked or not considered to design a plan

The Flood in Lagos is epic.

I practically swam out of my estate.

The flood causes traffic and everywhere is locked down.

From Badore to Lekki Phase1.

What's the way forward?
