The Commissioner, Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Hon. Tokunbo Wahab, has reacted to a report of flood along Olopo Meji inward Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.

He said the Olopo Meji inward 3rd Mainland situation is a flash flood that is due to the high intensity of the rain, long duration rain coupled with high tidal lagoon level at the moment. Be rest assured it would go away in about 1-hour. As the high tidal level of the lagoon goes down, the rain / storm water will be able to discharge into the lagoon
