  "summary": "Lagos Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat says the state's heavy traffic has become a major driver for the creative industry and content consumption. He made these remarks at PODFEST Naija, according to the Daily Post Nigeria.\n\nHamzat described Lagos traffic as more than a transportation problem, saying it has become part of everyday life for residents. He noted that many people use the time spent on the roads to consume creative content, suggesting that traffic has been a patron of the industry.\n\nThe Deputy Governor urged members of the creative industry to view the city's traffic experience from a different perspective, even going as far as to say they should \"celebrate traffic\".",
