Recently, traffic situation has worsened in Lagos State, such that commuters and motorists spend quality man-hour on roads travelling from home to the office, and office to home on a daily basis.
This has resulted in huge loss for businesses whose workers spend large chuck of the working hours on the road commuting to work. Many Lagos residents have also lost their lives and valuables to traffic robbers.
