The Chairman, Apapa Local Government Area of Lagos State, Mr. Ayodeji Joseph, has  urged residents of the area to desist from littering the environment. He also  appealed to them to stop indiscriminate dumping of refuse as a way of checking  flooding, reducing traffic congestion and maintaining a healthy and productive life  for them.

In a statement, the council boss said his administration had invested much in the  construction and rehabilitation of roads and drainages, adding that these  intervention measures helped in reducing flooding in the area.

According to him, “residents should avoid littering their surroundings. They should  keep the environment clean. We have done over 30 roads including drainages. We are  not going to stop at that and that is why there is great reduction in traffic  congestion and flooding in Apapa.

“In some other areas, people suffered terribly because of flood but because of the  intervention programme of the government, we did not experience major flooding as  was the case previously.”

He also said good roads had reduced traffic congestion in the area. According to  him, traffic and flooding were the major problems in the area but which have  received great attention.
