Fashola declares Monday public holiday




Sunday’s heavy rainfall, which crippled Lagos State, has forced Governor Babatunde Fashola to declare Monday a public holiday for all public schools..
Vehicular and human movements, including commercial activities in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub were paralysed.

The rain, which started at about 5am in most parts of the state, lasted till late into the night, flooding homes and roads across the state.

The roads were rendered impassable, while residents in some areas struggled to salvage their household items from the flood. In Jakande Estate, flood swept cars and buses.
