Lagos State Govt Issues Fresh Flood Alert, Warns Residents Of Ikoyi, Lekki, VI, Epe, Others

The Lagos State Government has warned the residents of Ikoyi, Victoria island, Lekki and the coastal areas of Badagry and Epe to be cautious of the backflow of flood which is due to the high tide in the Lagos state lagoon.

Tunji Bello, the commissioner for environment and water resources stated this via a statement issued out on Monday.

The Lagos commissioner stressed that the high tide of the Lagos lagoon has made it difficult for various channels water to discharge effectively into the lagoon in the state.

According to him, “The high tide of the Lagos lagoon has made it difficult for storm run-off from the various channels to discharge effectively into the lagoon which may cause stagnation into the streets and major roads until the level of the lagoon subsides to allow for a discharge of the channels.”
