Ambode gives quit notice to property owners blocking drainage channels in Lagos
Following the flood witnessed in most parts of Lagos last weekend, Gov. Ambode of Lagos in a statement released by the Commissioner for the Environment, Babatunde Adejare on Sunday, ordered owners of properties erected on drainage channels and impeding the free-flow of water to immediately vacate or risk being ejected.
Some of the areas where properties were erected on drainage channels include; Illubirin, Dolphin Estate, Osborne Foreshore Estate, Ikoyi, Osapa London, Ikota, Ogombo, Lekki, among others, as the Commissioner noted that the massive investment of public fund into drainage clearing and de-silting had been compromised by structures hindering the free-flow of water.
The question is how were they able to get building approval for their properties?
