Grappling with persistent floods
The 2026 rainy season commenced with intensity nationwide some days ago, triggering widespread flooding across some parts of the country. In line with the prediction of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), the impacts have been massive. It disrupted transportation, business activities, and power supply in many commercial cities, damaging property and submerging houses. Lagos State was perhaps the worst hit, as the downpour on Tuesday, last week, lasted several hours and left some residents homeless. Many motorists and commuters were stuck in the flood.
