PHOTO STORY: Lagos Flood: Floodwaters recede in Oshodi, but shops remain shut
The development came less than 24 hours after several hours of heavy rainfall triggered widespread flooding across Lagos.
by Emmanuel Agbo · Premium TimesCommercial activities gradually resumed in Oshodi, a major, densely populated transportation and commercial hub of Lagos State, on Monday after floodwaters that inundated parts of the bustling commercial district following Sunday’s heavy rainfall receded.
When PREMIUM TIMES visited the area, commercial buses, taxis and private vehicles moved freely along major roads that had been submerged less than 24 hours earlier. Customers had also begun returning to the market as the floodwaters disappeared, although many shops remained closed.
