The Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP) has called for urgent action to address flooding in the Lekki‑Epe corridor of Lagos, urging authorities to adopt effective drainage solutions.
The Lekki‑Epe corridor is a rapidly developing area in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, that has experienced recurrent flooding due to inadequate drainage infrastructure.
In its statement, the NITP emphasised the need for comprehensive drainage planning and the implementation of sustainable water‑management practices to mitigate flood risk.
The institute also urged local government and developers to incorporate flood‑resilient designs in new projects and to maintain existing drainage channels.
