The Lagos State Government has advised
residents on safety measures to take during the July rains, which it
said would be heavier and...
characterised by thunderstorm.
The Commissioner of the Environment, Mr.
Tunji Bello, said in a statement on Sunday that the advice was
imperative to ensure that Lagosians were safe as the rainy season
approached its peak, following reports from the Nigeria Meteorological
Agency
He said, “Rainfall intensity is expected
in July but Lagosians are advised not to panic. There is a need for
residents to be safety conscious during this period.
“Residents are advised to avoid driving through flooded areas as there might be difficulty in judging its depth.
“Do not drive on high speed and ensure
that your vehicles are in good condition. Except only on compulsory
occasions, avoid going out during rainy seasons.”
Bello said the rains in Lagos were expected to be of high intensity with accompanying wind and thunderstorms in July.
