Dr. Adejare added that the state government warned the citizenry to desist from acts that can lead to flooding, such as indiscriminate dumping of waste into drains and canals as this hinder the free-flow of storm water.
He implored Lagosians to come out en-mass on Saturday, warning that the period of environmental sanitation should not be used for any social engagement or sporting activities, but for serious cleaning and sanitation exercises.
