The Lagos State Public Works Corporation has appealed to residents for understanding as the state grapples with prolonged rainy seasons, which have resulted in widespread flooding and damage to roads and other public infrastructure.
The agency’s Director of Public Affairs, Samuel Ayetutu, disclosed this in a statement on behalf of the General Manager, Tokunbo Ajanaku, on Thursday.
The statement acknowledged the inconvenience being experienced by motorists, commuters, and residents due to the deterioration of some roads across the state, assuring Lagosians that efforts were ongoing to keep the road network safe and motorable.
Speaking on the corporation’s response to the situation, the General Manager, Tokunbo Ajanaku, said the unusually heavy rainfall being experienced was not unique to Lagos, noting that many cities around the world had also witnessed flooding and extensive damage to public infrastructure.
“It is important to note that the unusually high volume of rainfall recorded this year is not peculiar to Lagos alone. Across many cities around the world, extreme weather conditions have led to flooding and significant damage to public infrastructure.
