GOVERNOR  Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, yesterday, assured residents of his istration’s commitment towards ensuring the state remains flood free all year round.

Sanwo-Olu said this while commissioning the second batch of 19 high capacity drainage clearing and maintenance equipment, aimed at enhancing capacity.

Speaking at the event, which took place at the EFAG Yard, in Oregun, Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tunji Bello, said never again would Lagos be branded as a flood ravaged city.

He stressed that the state would always be a step ahead in of its preparations for the rainy season and the aftermath because of its coastal nature.

The governor explained that the complaints of non removal of silts from drains in quick times have been addressed with the new tipping trucks among the equipment.

While he said the equipment and vehicles represent the second batch to be procured, Sanwo-Olu said more will be provided in due course.

Also speaking, the Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources, Mr Joe Igbokwe, said government is aware of its responsibility to evolve strategic methods that will improve the environment and guarantee that the state is flood free and beautiful for residents.

Another vague promise

Rain and weather respects nobody.

Sakamaje
The with fvcking poor drainage system all over??

This I don't believe,

The Lagos drainage is not properly channeled, Gutters and canals blocked with refuses, no proper waste management System, everywhere choke...

That is what they keep saying every year.

2012, I nearly drowned in my own room because of flooding.

A round of applauds to the worst governor in the history of Lagos.

Big cap

That statement to should be given to those that stays on the island

When?

When will Lagos be Agberos free?

PrinceOfLagos:
When will Lagos be Agberos free?

Soon after you return back to your village in Ibo land


.

It is possible, but it won't be that easy cos Lagos is basically sitting on top of water.

I wonder the stupid promises those old men will give during the campaign for the general election

Rain has not started, the drainages filled already. The first major rain of the year is guaranteed to cause floods in many parts of Lagos

Q

Ok nice promise, but oga Lagos governor.
U need to see under bridge Yaba tech before waec bus stop that place is heavy flooded as I write now.
Even before the rain comes.
The drainage is totally blocked, all the water from Yaba tech is on the road...

That place have always been flooded.
If the rains eventually comes, the road will imable.

When you guys were selling Lagos land to estate developers on behalf of Tinubu, you didn't consider the fact that it would disrupt the flow of rainwater in Lagos, all you cared about was cashing out at the expense of Lagosians.

Sanwo Olu will just sit in one corner of the earth and be talking. Ordinary small rain wey fall day before yesterday brought flood, not to talk of when we enter rainy season proper.

Well, I don't doubt him sha, maybe the part of Lagos where he stays. So, he is actually correct

PrinceOfLagos:

I am Ibile and Lagos is my home.

Shuckudi Omo Ibo loshodi

Even Special adviser for gutter cleaning is claiming to be a lagosian Yoruba, denying Anambra

Enjoy your self and feel free to claim Yoruba anytime you are ashamed of SouthEast.. we are very accommodating here... Only that we won't let you hold any political position till thy kingdom comes

Professor!

Flood and Lagos is like 5/6. Make money flow first.. We need flow of funds so that crime rate will reduce. Flood is not our problem alaye

For the Ibos complaining, it is an Igbo man that is in charge of drainage services. Better channel your lamentation to him. I trust him to deal with you fools decisively. He has your medicine in his pocket.

I doubt that.

Future impossible tense.
