Why is a street name incorrect?

Mapping Lagos is not an easy task, street names do change at an alarming rate. For instance, what used to be

called Kingsway Rd in Ikoyi is now known as Alfred Rilwan Rd, etc. It is therefore possible that some of the streets

 on LagosLocation.com are wrongly labelled or spelt. If you noticed any wrong street name, please send us a mail

(info@lagoslocation.com). Our map provider will need to correct these in their database.
