National Emergency Management Agency has urged Nigerians to notice the very strong signal of what may unfold upon the onset of 2024 rainfall.
In a statement by its South West Zonal Coordinator, Ibrahim Farinloye, the agency reacting to the aftermath of rainfall in lagos stated that about 151 houses within the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos were submerged in floods.

According to Farinloye, NEMA is working with appropriate stakeholders to ameliorate observations and findings from today’s incident, and the state has promised to make sure no stone is left unturned to make the state safer.
However, the Director General of NEMA, Mustapha Habib Ahmed, appealed to Nigerians to start clearing their drainages of dirt and desilting them.

Ahmed expressed his support for the Lagos State Government’s bold decision after the 2023 rainy season to pull down drainage obstructing structures across various parts of the state, urging other state governments to follow suit, in order to ensure the safety of the lives and property.
