Tunji Bello, commissioner
for the environment and water resources, has urged residents of Lagos state to
prepare for likely consequences of 240 to 270 days rain with the 2020 rainfall
predicted to begin in March 19 and end November 22.
Bello made this known at a
news conference on the 2020 seasonal rainfall predictions and prevention of
flooding in Lagos, held at the ministry’s conference room on Tuesday.
He said it is necessary to
inform Lagos residents about the 2020 rainfall prediction by the Nigerian
Meteorological Agency (NIMET).
“Seasonal Rainfall
Prediction (SRP) is to allay fears of residents and prepare them ahead for the
likely consequences of the rain,” he said.
