Abeokuta Flood: Amosun Warns Against Indiscriminate Building Of Houses, Refuses by AutoReportNG2: 1:41am On Jul 19, 2018
In a bid to forestall flooding in the state, Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has embarked on an assessment visit to some areas affected by Friday's flood, which wrecked havoc around Abeokuta metropolis, warning against the indiscriminate building of houses.

He said the flood, as a result of a three-hour downpour and said to have claimed lives and properties, was avoidable.

Amosun, in a company of his wife, Olufunso, Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs.) Yetunde Onanuga and cabinet members, during the visit, asked residents to desist from building on waterways.

Such action, he noted, is unlawful and can cause great havoc when water movement is disrupted and hindered.

He also warned against the dumping of refuse inside drainages, after he visited Ijeja, Gbangba bridge, Itoku market, Kuto, Isabo, and Lafenwa areas.

He commiserated with those who lost their loved ones, praying that God will comfort them and grant them the fortitude to bear the losses.

Amosun also assured those who lost valuables, of government's commitment to intervene and cushion their losses.

While noting that the damage would have been more devastating, if not for the massive infrastructure put in place by his government, he stated that it would not relent in doing more, to avert a future occurrence.

Governor sir... don't you have a ministry of lands and survey that's supposed to manage/enforce the plots that people can build on? How about paying them so they won't shirk their duties? How about trash collection-services (Abi where should people put their trash?). It would also be nice if your government worked on drainage, tarring of roads (so there's less sand to enter gutters). Please do more governor, for that is what your people voted you in to do.

To be fair, there's more infrastructure, and at least, the governor is visiting and seeing the situation first hand, unlike some leaders we have...

Does the government need to warn on building on waterways and indiscriminate building of houses or she sit up and adequately plan and regulate. They only plan areas designated for elites and leave the common citizens to suffer and rely on their intuition. Failed and nincompoop government
