Lady and Gentlemen and Mr. Commissioner, the Lagos State Government forget during the development land to take into consideration the provision of retention pond to collect the rain and flood water before being discharging into an open sea. The canals would not solve the problems. Some of the government appointees are incompetent and lack planning. This issue occurs every year. Like I mentioned the “Dutch” have similar problems in the past, Lagos State Government should seek their expertise in providing solutions to this problem. Thank You.

While I applaud the good work of our media houses, I could see that practically all of you are having to rely on the amateur videos, instead of setting out with drones and your own devices.

more drainages

Mr. Hon.Commissioner of environment of Lagos state, please sir,, the government of Lagos state is NOT REALLY DOING ENOUGH IN PREVENTING,OR FREEING FLOOD AFTER HEAVY DOWNPOUR IN THE STATE. IN AS MUCH AS THE COMMISSIONER IS RIGHT IN "YOU CAN'T CHEAT NATURE " - MANY OF THIS FLOODING IS DUE TO THE I-DONT-CARE ATTITUDES OF RESIDENTS OF LAGOS - YET, MANY HIGHWAYS/ STREETS SIDE DRAINAGES ARE FULL OF ALL SORTS OF SOLID RUBBISH LIKE DEBRIS, PLASTIC PACKS,DISPOSABLE PLASTIC PLATES & BOTTLES, SAND & WEASTE PAPER (INCLUSIVE OF THOSE SWEPT IN BY STREET/HIGHWAYS SWEEPERS);NO PREVENTING BARRIERS TO STOP THESE FROM ENTERING/ BLOCKING THESE STORMS DRAINAGES! IT SEEMS STATE GOVERNMENT IS MORE INTERESTED IN THE ATTITUDE OF 'FILL THE DRAINAGES WITH RUBBISH & WEASTE, WE WILL COME AND CLEAR THEM NEXT YEAR' -INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON PREVENTION OF DRAINAGE BLOCKING 🚫! FLOOD WILL QUICKLY DISAPPEAR FROM ROADS/STREETS AFTER HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF RAINS, IF, THERE IS MUCH MORE SERIOUSNESS ON PART OF GOVERNMENTS(LOCAL/STATE) IN CLEARING, AND TAKING AWAY THE RUBBISH BROUGHT OUT OF THE DRAINAGES TO DUMP SITES WITHIN DAYS - AS IT WAS DURING MILITARY REGIME - AND NOT TAKING WEEKS TO CLEAR AWAY AS IT IS BEING DONE NOW. EKO O NI BAJE O! GOD BLESS & PROTECT LAGOS STATE THE MORE!

Greedy politicians,liars

I will keep repeating that there is no drainage structural system in the whole of Lagos State. If there is any, there will not be open gutters. If there are good waste collection and management systems, people will not throw waste or waste bins in the gutters. Construction of gutter in Lagos State has no flow direction. canals will not solve the flooding in Lagos State. Mr. Minister, what do you mean by " the water recede "? Is that a solution?. All the blame points you mentioned are Lagos State government own making. Mr. Minister Wahab, stop going round in circles, stop defending the indefensible, and understand the fact that there are no drainage structures, systems in the whole of Lagos State, and many states in Nigeria YB
