A GROUP of prominent Lagos State indigenes, under the aegis of De Renaissance Patriots, has urged the state government to act immediately without further delay to address the environmental challenges occasioned by flooding, which it said, had become a yearly ritual in Lagos Island and other parts of the state, including Lekki Phase I.
De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, which made the plea, yesterday, in a statement jointly signed by its President, Adelani Adeniji-Adele and Secretary-General, Yomi Tokosi, a copy of which was made available to newsmen, said that the environmental implementations of the pending disaster and imminent flood-related problem would not be an every year scary situation that had disrupted lives, commerce and health of people in the affected areas if it had been properly mitigated.
De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, therefore, charged the state government to “create that access into the lagoon and stop water from the lagoon from coming inside,” now that the water had nowhere to go. The newly sworn-in President of the club, Yusuf Yunus, made the remark while delivering his inaugural address after taking the oath of office.
