Mr. Tunji Bello, Commissioner for the Environment, in a statement made available to journalists, further implored Lagosians to clean their homes and rid them of filth irrespective of the non-restriction of the movement order.
He urged entire residents of the state to also concentrate on desilting of drains in their neighbourhood to allow free flow of storm water into the secondary and tertiary channels, which have already been cleaned by the state Government.
He observed that if the tertiary drains that transfer storm water from the frontages of our homes to the secondary channels are not cleaned by residents, this creates disruption in the flow of storm water from the trained path which eventually leads to flooding.
