Just a few plots from the Igando-Abaranje
footbridge somewhere around Foursquare Gospel Church.
They 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.
Whenever there's heavy rainfall, the canal gets full and the water finds its way through to the streets.
The community has sent emails and letters to the Lagos State Ministry of Environment, but there has been no response. And according to a source "the gutters
here are not the issue and nobody here dumps refuse in the drainage".
We urge the Lagos State Government under Gov. Akiwunmi Ambode to come to the community aid and construct the canal once and for all.
