There’s a real chance of Lagos being flooded

Lagos residents have been warned by the state government to prepare for flooding, as a result of heavy rainfall, as from October 2015.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry for the Environment, Oluwatoyin Onisarotu, said on Thursday that a report of the Nigerian Metrological Agency, predicted heavy rainfall in Lagos State.

“I advise that people should not panic whenever it rains, as they will start to experience accumulated water concentration in some parts of the roads and highways, depending on the intensity of the rains.

“Those residing along flood plains, low line areas, and other coastlines like Ajegunle, Owode-Onirin, Owode-Elede, Kuramo Beach, Alpha Beach, Okun-Mapo, Okun Ajah, Ijora-Badia, Iwaya, and other low line areas, should be extremely careful.

“Such people may also need to vacate their residence temporarily once they notice gradual accumulation of water; they should move to higher grounds, as the state is not ready to lose any life during the rainy period.”
