Residents of Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area in Lagos State are grappling with severe flooding that has submerged several communities, causing widespread disruption and displacement. The flooding, attributed to recent heavy rains and poor drainage systems, has affected thousands of households, damaging homes, roads, and local infrastructure.The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has issued warnings to residents in flood-prone areas to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. Efforts to drain floodwaters and provide relief materials are underway, but many affected families are still struggling with limited access to clean water and essential services.Community leaders have called on government authorities to urgently improve drainage facilities and implement long-term flood mitigation measures to prevent future occurrences.This incident highlights the recurring challenge of urban flooding in Lagos, exacerbated by climate change, rapid urbanization, and inadequate infrastructure.
