LAGOS STATE GOVT ISSUES FRESH WARNING AMIDST HEAVY RAINFALLS
The Lagos State Government has issued a fresh warning to residents in parts of Lekki, Ikorodu and Ajegunle areas of the state to relocate from lowlands to highlands to avoid being victims of flooding.
“Those around the Ajilete axis of Lagos, that’s Ajegunle, they have to move. Those around the coastline of Ikorodu; Majidu, have to move. Some areas around the Lekki corridor, too, not all,”
“Epe had always been safe, Mushin will be safe, Ikeja will be safe,” the environment commissioner stated, warning residents of Isheri in the OPIC area of the state to also be on alert.
Wahab said Lagos, as a coastal city, is exposed to the vagaries of climate change and will experience flash flooding this year.
