Our house is just a few plots from the
Igando-Abaranje footbridge somewhere around Foursquare Gospel Church. We
have been experiencing continual flooding due to the tiny size of the
canal. The single canal here serves as exit for waters coming from
Bakare in Ikotun LCDA, Abaranje and Igando and the size of the canal is
just a little bit more than a gutter. Even the Foursquare Gospel Church
in the next street is flooded but the water won't allow me go out to
take much pictures. . . This happened just this morning. Whenever there's heavy rainfall, the canal gets full and the water finds its way through to the streets.
I have sent emails and letters to the Lagos State Ministry of Environment, but there has been no response. Our gutters here are not the issue and nobody here dumps refuse in the drainage because I know that'd be the first question.
We urge the Lagos State Government under Gov. Akiwunmi Ambode to come to our aid and construct the canal once and for all.
