Being A True Nigerian is the ability to adapt to Traffic especially for those of us who stay in the big Cities such as Lagos. Festac Town is located on the mainland and the residents are used to traffic especially in the mornings and late evenings .
Traffic most especially affects those who work on the island and few on the mainland. On a bad or probably good day , if you don’t take some precautions , you can be stuck in traffic for like 2 hours.
But at the same time this traffic can be minimised even though cannot be totally avoided.
So here are a few tips for you to Cope /Manage and Avoid This Traffic.
