Too often we believe lagos is a dirty place; so is every city. We know though that the environment impacts on our mental and physical health, so what a beautiful thing for the lagos state government to be thinking of dredging up major canals at Gbagada, Dolphin/Obalende axis, Baale/Okoya (used to live in this neighborhood), Osose in Bariga and Oko-Oba in Agege.
And how much is the government putting into this? A 1.2bn naira. It's a welcome news for people living along those areas, especially those who depend on water for their daily lives. Let's hope it all gets done and done properly.
