The Lagos State Government has commenced the removal of illegal properties built on the drainage channel along System 1 midstream (Odo Iyalaro – Ojota – Ogudu reach) to mitigate the risk of flooding in the area.

Following several meetings held, the Ministry engaged with the owners of the properties who had disregarded multiple notices to cease construction on the drainage channel.

Today, on the 15th of April, 2024, the Monitoring Enforcement and Compliance Department of @LasgMOE took action to remove the illegal structures, ensuring the free flow of rainwater and preventing potential flooding incidents.

The @followlasg reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding communities across the State from the hazards of flooding, prioritizing the well-being and safety of residents.
