Opposition governorship candidates in Lagos State, including Doherty and GRV, have accused successive administrations of failing to address the structural problems behind traffic congestion, flooding, and unaffordable housing.
The candidates argued that these persistent issues have worsened over recent years, undermining residents’ daily lives and the state’s economic prospects.
They called on the current government to implement comprehensive infrastructure projects and housing policies that tackle the root causes of congestion, waterlogging and high property costs.
The debate, held in Lagos, saw the candidates discuss potential solutions such as expanding road networks, upgrading drainage systems and developing affordable housing schemes.
The opposition’s critique reflects wider concerns about governance and development in Nigeria’s largest city, which is a key economic hub for the country.
