LAGOS, NIGERIA – Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, former governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Lagos, has raised alarm over the sinking status of Lagos and its vulnerability to disappearing within the next 60 to 70 years due to rising water levels.
In a video shared by Channels TV, Gbadebo emphasized that simply cleaning gutters is insufficient to address the city’s flooding woes.
He called for the implementation of a well-managed, mechanized, and hydraulic water management system. This approach, he argued, should include policies to protect wetlands and improve waste management practices.
Drawing on the example of Japan’s G-Cans flood protection system, Gbadebo advocated for Lagos to adopt similar advanced technologies to effectively manage water levels both within the city and its surrounding areas.
“Lagos is sinking, Lagos has been listed as one of the cities that will disappear in 60 or 70 years in terms of water overflowing, so we cannot just be talking about gutters anymore,” Gbadebo stated.
As concerns over Lagos’s future intensify, Gbadebo’s recommendations highlight the urgent need for proactive measures to safeguard the city against the impacts of climate change and urban development.
