NIMET PREDICTION: OGUN MAY NOT EXPERIENCE SEVERE FLOODING -COMMISSIONER

 “The river and stream courses that have been dredged in the State Capital so far include; Sokori stream course from Isale-Igbein to Ijeja, the drainage path of swampy areas within Lafenwa Market, Akingbade stream in Obantoko and Fatola Estate steam course at Camp’.

‘’A dilapidated and submerged culvert linking Oke-Odo to Abule Oloni in Abeokuta was also reconstructed. In addition, a river course in Owode Ketu area and another along Ilaro-Owode Road of Ogun West Senatorial District had also been dredged,’’ he said.

 The Commissioner enjoined residents to play their part, by clearing their drainages and road medians, cautioning motorists to drive carefully during the  raining season, as the period was characterized by strong winds capable of pulling down trees, thereby causing obstructions on the roads.

 He added that temperatures may be warmer than normal, as the dry season peaks, advising residents to increase their water intake, while ensuring that they drink from clean and hygienic water sources.
