Complex Relationship: 87.2% of Lagos residents use mobile phone to communicate leftover food with neighbours
The result from the Infoprations’ Series on Sustainable
Development has shown that 87.2% of Lagos residents are using mobile phone to
communicate available uneaten food with their neighbours due to complex
relationship that exists among them.
Analysis also indicates
that 17.3% of 109 residents in Lekki/Ajah and Yaba areas of the city with very
complex relationship also use the medium. Further analysis indicates that the
medium is being used by the residents because of time, quick message delivery,
appropriateness, easier to use, ease of use and the fact that it is the most
use new medium in the city.
Despite its usefulness,
residents note that the medium is not dependable. Infoprations’ observation links this with the poor
telecommunication infrastructure and network connectivity in the country, a
situation which needs concerned stakeholders quick response and solutions towards
attainment of food security and poverty reduction using neighbourhood approach.
