Lagos State Government, weekend, urged residents not to panic as the rainy season began, assuring that any flash flood recorded during any rainfall, would be temporary as the government had done what was needed to ensure the flood did not last.
.
This came as it urged residents residing on low line areas to relocate when the intensity of the rains became severe, as the state would not want any resident to lose his or her life or property to flood during the rainy period.
.
Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello, spoke while monitoring the mid rain cleaning programme in Lagos Island, Mainland and Victoria Island executed by the drainage maintenance office and emergency flood abatement arms of the Ministry during weekend's rainfall.
.
According to Bello, any flood seen would disappear as soon as the rain stopped, because the ministry had cleaned and dredged primary and secondary channels across the state ahead of this year's rainy season.
The weather has been cold and it pleases me that way. I hate heat!
Lagos State Government has done very well with this assurance but it is just not enough. Some steps have to be taken to ensure our safety.
