Lagos blames heavy rainfall for worsening road conditions

Lagos State authorities have attributed deteriorating road conditions to prolonged and heavy rainfall, which has caused widespread flooding and damage to public infrastructure. The Lagos State Public Works Corporation (LSPWC) acknowledged the challenges faced by residents and commuters, emphasizing that while they have undertaken road maintenance during the dry season, continuous rain has hindered the effectiveness of permanent repairs. General Manager Tokunbo Ajanaku noted that Lagos' low-lying terrain exacerbates the problem, making roads especially vulnerable to water-related damage. He assured residents that temporary fixes are being implemented to ensure safety, with plans to resume long-term repairs once weather conditions improve.
