The chairman of the Ibeju-Lekki local council, Abdullahi Olowa, on Monday, toured some areas affected by flooding in the locality and promised swift intervention.

Mr Olowa sympathised with residents affected by the flooding and assured them that the local government council would engage relevant stakeholders to ensure prompt and lasting intervention.
The chairman reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the safety and welfare of residents.
According to him, necessary measures will soon be put in place to mitigate the impact of the flooding and provide much-needed relief.
“It is our responsibility as a council to attend to emergencies such as this, but it is also your obligation as residents to conduct social activities in a more environmentally friendly manner.
”Refrain from blocking water channels with structures and dispose of waste properly,” stated Mr Olowa
