With rainy season beginning in Lagos state, some see it as a relief after the harsh dry season that lasted for months.
But the same cannot be said for commuters and residents of Ijaiye Road of Ifako Ijaiye Local Government Area of the state.
Shop owners, drivers, and pedestrians complain of the flooding of the road which sees it become a swimming pool when the floodgates open and the downpour is severe in the area.
One of the shop owners who did not want to speak on camera revealed that this is the season she does not enjoy because when it rains, she has to battle with bailing water out of her shop which very tiring.
At the time of the filing of this report, other areas around the ever busy road had their gutters being shoveled to make way for water to move but one wonders if the road is being neglected intentionally.
Efforts to get in touch with the chairman and top officials at the Ifako Ijaiye LGA office proved abortive but the voice of the people directly affected are in unison and have called out to the government to find a lasting solution to the problem faced in the area.
