Special adviser to Lagos state governor on drainage and water resources, Joe Igbokwe has disclosed that residents of the state “have to live with flooding” because it is inevitable.<\/p>\n

Several parts of the state suffer flooding whenever there is heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

While speaking during a programme on Arise TV on Wednesday, Igbokwe compared Lagos to the Netherlands, New Orleans, and Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital.<\/p>\n

He said any resident that wants to avoid flooding should not live in areas where flood temporarily settles before returning to the lagoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a coastal city \u2014 below sea level. And we must have. Look at what is happening in the Netherlands or New Orleans, or Port Harcourt. It\u2019s a natural phenomenon. Natural occurrence, and it\u2019s bound to happen,\u201d Igbokwe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to live with it. I\u2019m going to give names of areas you\u2019re not supposed to live in Lagos if you want to avoid flooding. Owode, Iwaya, Makoko, Ijora-Badia, Isari-North, Kara, Ajegunle, Majidun, Ogolonto. These are areas you\u2019re not supposed to build anything there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a wetland. These are places where you have flash flooding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
