Lagos traffic not a problem, it’s lifestyle' - Obafemi Hamzat

Lagos Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat described the city’s persistent traffic congestion as more than a transportation issue, calling it part of everyday life for residents. He mentioned that traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge at 6 p.m. is considered a 'lifestyle' rather than a problem. Hamzat linked the city’s traffic culture to the growth of its entertainment industry, noting that residents use travel time to consume creative content. He urged the creative sector to embrace traffic as part of Lagos’s identity.
