A commercial bus and a delivery van caught in the middle of flood water in Lagos.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Dayo Bush-Alebiosu, has blamed persistent flooding in the state on poor environmental practices and illegal land reclamation.
Bush-Alebiosu said indiscriminate waste disposal, illegal dredging and unauthorised reclamation had continued to undermine efforts to tackle flooding in the coastal state.
He spoke on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Tuesday.
“It is important to identify what the problem is in the first place, and the problem is nothing other than bad habits.
