Welcome to Bayeku, a riverine community in Ikorodu, Lagos — a vivid representation of several riverine communities across Nigeria, communities whose waterways have been infested by an invasive aquatic weed; communities where economic livelihoods have been hampered: fishing, marine transportation and trading; communities where fish yields have diminished; communities where schoolchildren are unable to go to school for days, sometimes weeks, on end.
Comunidades cuyos canales se han visto infestados por una invasora planta acuática. Comunidades cuyo sustento económico se ha visto obstaculizado: la pesca, el transporte marítimo, y el comercio. Comunidades en las que la pesca ha disminuido.
