It is disheartening to note that Yaba, a prime area in Lagos Mainland, is always at the mercy of flood whenever there is a little downpour.
As an Ondo State resident who visits Lagos frequently, I find it difficult to fathom that a choice location like Yaba is frequently subjected to flood even with a little downpour.
The picture of men and women removing their shoes and raising their cloth to wade through the flood is not a pretty sight that should greet the eyes in a mega city. There is also the economic impact of this flood which usually causes traffic gridlock, leading to the loss of precious human hours.
