BusinessDay publishes an opinion piece advocating for the adoption of AI-based urban planning and transportation management to address Lagos’ infamous traffic congestion. The author highlights how real-time data analysis, predictive modeling, and AI-based infrastructure coordination could vastly improve mobility in Nigeria’s largest city.

The article critiques current planning systems as outdated, underfunded, and unable to respond dynamically to the scale and complexity of urban growth. Examples from global smart cities are cited to support the case for adopting similar AI strategies in Lagos.

The piece concludes with a call to policymakers, urban planners, and private sector partners to collaboratively develop a future-ready AI-driven transport framework.
