Deputy Governor Hamzat on Lagos Traffic: 6000 Arrivals, 3000 Departures Daily
Lagos is currently experiencing a notable imbalance in its daily travel statistics, with around 6,000 arrivals contrasted by only 3,000 departures.
This results in a ratio of 2:1 for arrivals to departures. This trend can be attributed to several factors, including an influx of business travelers, tourists, and migrants seeking opportunities in the city.
The high number of arrivals suggests that Lagos remains an attractive destination for both international and domestic flights.
Various airlines are servicing these routes, contributing to the city’s vibrant aviation sector.
Conversely, the lower number of departures could indicate a variety of reasons: potential travelers may be delaying their trips, or there may be economic factors influencing their decisions.
This scenario underscores the dynamic nature of Lagos as a hub for commerce and culture in Nigeria, where opportunities continue to draw people into the city despite potential challenges in outbound travel.
