Flooding Complaints Rise in Ajah as Rainy Season Returns

Several reviews mention recurring water accumulation around low lying streets and unfinished drainage channels.

Renters say flooding is most noticeable near inner roads branching off the Lekki corridor, particularly after overnight rainfall.

In some cases, residents report needing to park vehicles on higher ground or delay commuting until water recedes.

A pattern emerges when comparing living experiences.

Residents inside gated estates often report better road elevation, functional drainage systems, and quicker cleanup after storms.

Those on inner streets more frequently complain about stagnant water, damaged road surfaces, and limited maintenance response.

Flooding worsens already heavy traffic along the Lekki Epe Expressway.

Renters say journeys to Lekki Phase 1 or Victoria Island stretch significantly longer after storms, with flooded service roads forcing cars back onto main routes.

Ride hailing costs also rise during such periods, according to several submissions.
