Rainy season: Lagos residents battle floods, traffic, rising transport costs

Persistent rainfall in Lagos has led to significant challenges for residents, including flooding, severe traffic congestion, and increased transport costs. Commuters like Mrs. Shola Opeyemi and Mrs. Cecilia Uwadi have altered their routines, leaving home earlier and using alternative strategies to navigate the city. Transport costs have risen sharply, with some individuals spending nearly double their daily budget when caught in the rain. Traders such as Mrs. Adewunmi Yusuf report mixed impacts, with increased sales of umbrellas due to unpredictable weather. The situation highlights broader economic and logistical strains on everyday life in Lagos.
