Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode is set to take hard decisions in tackling the age-long
problem of flood which has ravaged the financial nerve-centre of
Nigeria, Lagos.
Lagos flood
Following the flood witnessed in most parts of Lagos last weekend,
Gov. Ambode of Lagos in a statement released by the Commissioner for the
Environment, Babatunde Adejare on Sunday, ordered owners of properties
erected on drainage channels and impeding the free-flow of water to
immediately vacate or risk being ejected.
Some of the areas where properties were erected on drainage
channels include; Illubirin, Dolphin Estate, Osborne Foreshore Estate,
Ikoyi, Osapa London, Ikota, Ogombo, Lekki, among others, as the
Commissioner noted that the massive investment of public fund into
drainage clearing and de-silting had been compromised by structures
hindering the free-flow of water.
The Commissioner said, "it is now of paramount importance that
owners of buildings or structures impeding the free-flow of storm water,
wherever they exist in the State, are advised to voluntarily quit
forthwith in the overriding public interest or risk being removed by the
State Government as no responsible government will allow the interest
of a few to jeopardise the wellness and wellbeing of the generality of
its people.
"In view of the grievous consequences of compromising drainage
right of way and alignment, Lagosians are hereby warned to henceforth
refrain from this illegal act, report perpetrators and cooperate with
the Lagos State Government in its bid to achieve a flood-free, clean and
livable State.
"For the avoidance of doubt, Lagosians are once again reminded
that the right of way for primary unlined (without concrete) channel is
25 meters and 15 meters for primary lined (with concrete) channel, while
the right of way for secondary/connector channel is seven meters. The
right of way for tertiary channel is three meters from the fence of the
house.
