Residents send SOS to LASG over poor drainage, flooding

They called on the Lagos State Government to save them from the consequences of the poor drainage system and flooding with the frequent rainfall in the state.They lamented that the road was always flooded whenever it rained, thereby causing havoc which was worrisome to both residents and road users.

“From my street to the bus stop is always a problem, it gets more uncomfortable if it is during the working days. “Especially if it is a Monday, fares also become more expensive than the usual because commercial buses always take advantage of the situation,” he said. “This is where we need the government to wade in by a form of prosecution or enforcement on anyone seen throwing waste into the drainage system,” he said.

“Plastics and some particles have blocked the water channels and affected residents and shop owners from entering their house and shops,” he said.Temitope Ajayi, who lives around the LASU-Isheri road, told NAN that during the rains, the situation is worsened as floods take over the community.“We are at the mercy of mosquitoes. When they constructed this road, nothing like this happened, but look at our road now, everywhere is flooded.

“We call on the government to find a lasting solution to that area as that particular place has always been like that in a long time.
