Today’s Photo : Traffic jam on the Lagos highway in 1982 shows that Lagos has always been a congested city.

Lagos State today is known for its mind-boggling hour-long road traffic congestion popularly known as hold up (and go-slow), and a lone picture reportedly taken in the 1980s shows that Lagos has always been a congested city.

Back in 2022, a report by the Danne Institute for Research revealed that Lagosians spend an average of 2.21 hours per day in traffic, which costs them the equivalent of N1,1180 per hour of salaries or N17 million per day.
