Lagos State Govt warns residents on Ocean Surge!

The Lagos State Government has warned residents of coastal areas in the state to be prepared for another deadly ocean surge this year.

Last year, ocean surge at Kuramo Beach swept away 15 people and sacked the entire coastal community, with properties worth millions of naira lost.

Addressing a news conference on plans by the state to prepare for this year’s rainfall to mitigate the impact of flood, Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello alerted that another ocean surge should be expected this year, saying that the government was working hard to mitigate the impact.

The commissioner said the government had put machinery in motion to mitigate the impact of flood in the Lagos metropolis this year.
