Similarly, the state government has ordered the removal of all buildings and structures on drainage alignments, wetlands, obstructing the flow of storm water to the lagoon in the Lekki-Epe area of the state, starting from Monday.
Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Wahab, who gave the directives, while speaking with newsmen after an extensive inspection tour of ongoing drainage projects and infractions at Ajiran, Mehabond Estate environs, described the development as “unacceptable.”
Wahab also directed the enforcement team of the ministry to seal off some buildings over various environmental infractions. He said the directive is part of efforts to prevent flooding during the rainy season.
