NEW: Enugu gov't warns residents against flooding as rains intensify

GOVERNMENT OF ENUGU STATE

URGENT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

STAY SAFE AS THE RAINS INTENSIFY

The Enugu State Government wishes to remind the good people and residents of the state that as the rainy season intensifies, the risk of flooding in many parts of the state also increases. We therefore urge everyone to take the necessary precautions to protect lives, property, and the environment.

You are strongly advised not to dump refuse into gutters, drainage channels, streams, or rivers. Such irresponsible practices obstruct the free flow of water, resulting in avoidable flooding that threatens homes, businesses, public infrastructure, and human lives.

We call on households, landlords, business owners, and community leaders to keep their surroundings clean and ensure that all drainage channels and waterways within their neighbourhoods remain free of refuse and other obstructions.

Those living in flood-prone communities should pay close attention to weather advisories and be prepared to relocate to safer locations whenever the need arises. Members of the public are also advised never to walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters, as their depth and strength may be difficult to determine and could pose grave danger.

Flood prevention is a collective responsibility. By keeping our environment clean and our drainage systems unobstructed, we can significantly reduce the risk of flooding and safeguard our communities.

The Enugu State Government counts on the cooperation of the general public as we work together to keep our state safe throughout this rainy season.

Tomorrow Is Here.

Signed:
Dr. Malachy Uchenna Agbo
Honourable Commissioner for Information and Communication
Enugu State

Only God knows what the Departments of Engineering in all the higher institutions in the state have been doing to curb the flood in that state.

Flood alert when rain no dey fall here

Lagos haters make una come see o, no be only for Lagos rain dey cause flood

Hope the Lagos Calabar coaster road is not the cause of the flood , , according to some haters...

Coastal road causing flood everywhere in the country, even where the road doesn’t traverse

Daniel bwala is right about apc and their supporters. Mostly senseless slave. You can imagine this one above me.

Is this low self-esteem or what? Refuse heaps have clogged drainages in Lagos, along with poor infrastructural planning over the years. This is not the same in every state and saying the obvious should not be seen as an attack but a call to action by the Lagos state government.

Flood alert in enugu? The city is not even experiencing enough rain. Unless they know something else the public don't know.
