The state government had assigned different region of the state as flood-inclined red zones.

In an extensive Instagram post, the hopeful Lagos State delegate chastised the organization for neglecting to proclaim a highly sensitive situation and for neglecting to offer a cure.
Moreover, Funke Akindele underscored the dubiousness of riverine towns in the state without even a negligible seepage framework.
In a now-erased post, she composed;
“In the wake of talking with individuals in a few wards across the state, I feel a sense of urgency to share my anxiety about the wellbeing of Lagosians in every aspect of the state. The Lagos state government put out a flood advance notice for a few pieces of the state however it is yet to declare a highly sensitive situation or offer a nitty gritty reaction plan if flooding imperils the existences of residents,” Funke Akindele expressed.
The way that Lagos state has not proclaimed a highly sensitive situation, particularly in the riverine networks, is very reckless and seriously endangers so many Lagosians. Our riverine networks don’t have useful drains, flood trenches worked to channel rising water are loaded up with sediment and hindered by reject and our streams are invaded by water hyacinths. It is a fiasco in the works.
While crusading is significant, getting the lives and properties of Lagosians outweighs everything else. Considering the current flooding in different pieces of the nation and the preemptive guidance conveyed by the Nigerian Metrological Organization (NMA), the Lagos should state government guarantees that residents are safeguarded by pronouncing a natural highly sensitive situation.
I would encourage the state government to divert its organizations, LASTMA and LAWMA to zero in on unclogging the significant flood trenches so water can be securely diverted out of the city and briefly move residents previously dislodged by the flooding in pieces of the state until the rising waters scatter and work to decongest seepage directs in all thickly populated regions before we face another flood debacle.

Crisis numbers ought to be communicated on all state media channels, residents ought to be instructed on present crisis conventions and urged to report any missing people or harm to properties. We might with honest intentions at any point get some information about races when their lives are in danger. I firmly ask Lead representative Sanwoolu and the Lagos state government to mediate and moderate a likely misfortune.
