The Nation Newspaper Lagos seeks stakeholders' collaboration for improved drainage
Lagos State Government is seeking the support of stakeholders on the development of a secondary drainage master plan for selected local governments, as part of efforts to reduce flood.Wahab described the gathering as a testament of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration to allow residents contribute to governance.
“The world is experiencing global warming, causing even countries with the best infrastructure to experience flooding. This is why we must take care not to destroy these things with our actions.” The Permanent Secretary , Olalekan Shodeinde, said the first master plan was in the 70s, which became a guide for interventions in storm water management.Shodeinde said Priority One project would cover Ikorodu, Kosofe, Eti-osa, Shomolu and Ibeju Lekki believed to be the most flood-prone councils, while the priority two project would cover Ajeromi, Ifelodun, Ojo, Amuwo Odofin and Alimosho local governments.
