The Nation Newspaper Removal of structures on drainage setback will address flooding, says Lagos govt
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, stated this when he led an inspection tour to the areas to monitor demolition enforcement and ascertain the level of compliance by property owners.
He said: “So we have gone round system 1 platform – Odo Iya Alaro, Arowojobe, Mende, Sholuyi axis to reassess ongoing enforcement of the right of way for System I which was established in 1974, meaning it predates most houses in this corridor. The system has been maintained and sustained by the government because it is very critical to the de-flooding of the mainland as a whole.“But, unfortunately, people have encroached on its alignment and right of way.
The Special Adviser on Environment, Kunle Rotimi-Akodu, said the government is determined to find a realistic solution to the issue of flash flooding in the state.
