The Lagos State Government has announced the removal of structures encroaching on setbacks and drainage alignments along the Alaba International drainage channel.
The enforcement exercise, carried out by the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, aims to restore the free flow of stormwater in the area and mitigate flooding risks.
Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed the development via his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday.
