The author did what I consider an excellent job of raising pertinent issues about it, and proposing ideas and strategies for eliminating this problem in the future.

As my own way of contributing to efforts aimed at solving this flooding problem, I publish this preview of the article, linking to the source website for the full piece.

At the risk of stating the obvious, decisive and timely action needs to be taken to remedy this flooding problem so that prospective investors are NOT discouraged from pursuing their interest in places like Ibeju-Lekki and environs!

This matter is quite serious and has widely affected many residents/property owners and businesses this year.

It therefore goes without saying that Nigerians at home and in Diasporae – who have investments (or interests) in this area – will find the information provided by this writer, who boasts what appears to be relevant technical expertise, knowledge and experience on the subject, quite valuable.

It is also my hope that relevant agencies and their representatives that come across this version, will take time to reflect on it, and consequently act to avert future occurrences.

The learned general approached me and narrated his concern. He asked what I knew about the geologies and situational geographics of the area.

••• Before his dream, my concern about a possible natural disaster in the area was already established.
