…Governor Hands Over 19 High-Capacity Drainage Equipment, Vehicles For Proficiency
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday gave verve to the quest to ensure that Lagos remains flood-free as he commissioned the second batch of 19 high-capacity drainage clearing and maintenance equipment.
Speaking at the event, which took place at the EFAG Yard in Oregun, Sanwo-Olu said never again will Lagos be branded as a flood-ravaged city, stressing that the State Government will always be a step ahead in terms of its preparations for the rainy season and its aftermath because of the nature of Lagos as a coastal city.
The Governor, represented by Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tunji Bello, averred that his administration will continue to position the Office of Drainage Services to perform its statutory roles, adding the equipment will be evenly deployed to every part of Lagos.
