As previously stated, the state government is keeping an eye on the Ogun River, which empties straight into the Lagos lagoon, according to Tunji Bello, the commissioner for the environment.
He said the state may be susceptible to the dangers of flooding due to the periodic release of rainwater from the Oyun dam.
“Following renewed fears of residents about the ravages of massive flooding nationwide, Lagos State convened a meeting of all critical stakeholders to evaluate the state’s preparedness for any eventuality, with a resolution that while Lagos is not totally immune to flooding, the state will continue to effectively manage its situation,” the statement reads.
Plying through the bridge on Tuesday, the comic actor in a video shared on his social media page affirmed the statement of the Lagos state government, saying that the water has risen so high.
He added that it is not a rumor, urging people living around the river banks to look out for their safety as the flood draws nigh.
