Hurricane 'Lagostrina'..Govt warns of more violent storms

...Hurricane

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday said the state would experience more violent storms before the end
of 2012.

The Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello, who urged residents to join forces with the government to minimise the impact of the storms, said the state was alerted of the violent storms by its in-house scientists.

Bello spoke at a town hall meeting, where Governor Babatunde Fashola said those who indulged in abuse of the environment were “enemies of the state.”

“We are expecting heavy rains this year, with wind and storm. Our experts told us that the rains would be heavier than that of last year. We will let you know anytime we are going to have storm. Nowhere is safe, but we can minimise the impact if we all work together and clean our environment.”

Bello warned traders and hawkers in the state to desist from throwing filths into canals and drains. He said markets that violated the environmental law of the state would be closed for three months.
