Lagos is once again being ravaged by flood waters. Homes flooded, businesses shut, with widespread damage to lives and property. Yet again, this is being attributed to flash flooding and, predictably, fingers are being pointed at residents disposing waste irresponsibly. This however does not tell the whole story. In many cases, what we are seeing are the effects of a long-standing failure in Environmental Governance by leadership at State and Federal levels.

As one case in point, the attached images are extracts from the report of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) on the Coastal Road contract awarded to Hi-Tech. My legal team obtained it from BPP in 2024 as part of our public and legal challenge of the alarming lack of due process in the award of that contract.

The report indicates that no EIA was made available to the BPP at the time of its review. In addition, the breakdown of the contract award shows a sum of N400 million included for the Environmental Impact assessment as part of Hi-Tech’s N1.1 trillion contract for Section 1 of the road.

There are at least two significant problems with this:

1. It shows that the road contract was specified, designed, costed and awarded (and it subsequently commenced) without an EIA having first been properly done to assess and incorporate Environmental Concerns.
2. For such a project, the EIA should not be procured through the contractor building the road (Hi-Tech) as part of its contract, as there is an obvious conflict of interest in those roles that could undermine the independence of the EIA and impair the objectivity of its conclusions.

In light of these, the unfortunate escalating floods being witnessed in areas adjoining the coastal road, as recently admitted by the Lagos State Commissioner of the Environment, while tragic, should not come as a surprise.

I call for a proper independent investigation, prompt remediation measures and provision for fair compensation for losses suffered by residents and property owners with resettlement assistance as appropriate, where failure to follow due process and adhere to the Environmental Impact Assessment laws is established to have contributed to or caused the severe hardship being endured by affected communities.

A compassionate and responsible Government will ensure, that no contract — federal or state, however large, however politically connected — is awarded and executed without complying with the environmental safeguards that our laws provide to protect and preserve the welfare and well-being of our people.

Applications are now open for the opportunity to study in Ireland on a fully funded (!!) Master's #scholarship 🎓

🇳🇬 Applicants from #Nigeria can apply for the Roger Casement Fellowship in Human Rights, supporting Master's programmes in Law, Human Rights and Governance.

🇬🇭 Applicants from #Ghana can apply for eligible Master's programmes through the IFP – Africa stream.

Having worked with Irish higher education institutions for many years, I've seen first-hand the impact these opportunities can have —not only academically, but also personally and professionally. Ireland offers a truly welcoming environment, world-class universities, and an experience that stays with you long after graduation.

If you meet the criteria, I would strongly encourage you to apply. It could be the start of something life-changing. All info via https://t.co/Ec3CJmbx0N

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

It's all by design.

[Hansel Praise @hannytalker]

Why is no one talking about the kidnapped children, yet "Olodo Uprising" and Akara are what's trending? The way we move on from serious issues in Nigeria is deeply worrying.

[Tayo Oviosu 🗽 @oviosu]

Likely the changes are better than leaving as is, but with all due respect, the only recommendation should have been to END NYSC. It is a waste of our most precious resource - our young minds.

[Toyin Omotoso @toyinomotoso]

I believe Lagos landlords have an association.

Looks like all they do there is to drink wine and talk about how to increase rents.

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

I wish someone told me this very early.

[Emmanuel, Faith; The Startup HR. @themmanuelfaith]

If you are in your 20s, please shoot every possible shot and apply to every possible opportunities.

Whenever you wake up is your morning, but those who wake up the earliest often have an advantage.

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

@mc_lively_ I had exactly the same thought when I saw it.

[Pejuola| HR🗣️ @Pejuola_a]

Here are a few jobs I came across today. Hopefully someone here finds one that's a great fit.

[Oo Nwoye @OoTheNigerian]

Joseph Abah and that yellow boy from Abia state that was carrying the Deputy Speaker's handbag? at Sanwo Olu's birthday na the same thing

They are more dangerous than full fledged evil idiots like the miscreant Wendell Slimlin @renoomokri

The danger is their ability to appear like one of the people. They are smart, subtle in speech, manner and never have conflict with anyone. They never take a side, but somehow, they are always working for those that destroy thru country.

It's kinda @toluogunlesi esque. But Tolu never really get level so his potential to harm is limited.

@DrJoeAbah and Samuel @hartng think say I no go call them by name.

Samuel especially, boasted serving 3 terrible governors of Abia State and while people abhored the governors, he had a pass and they kikikied with him.

Joseph's own is to form opinionated but sits on the fence only when it's time to speak truth to power then feigns "technocrat".

Our problems in Nigeria are plenty and we need tk call them by name.

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

You guys do not respect the people that out you in office enough. Very clear you do not rate them at all.

[Oloye Akin Alabi @akinalabi]

Negative tweets, online curses, abuses etc comes with the territory. I even enjoy it. One of my favourite quotes is “if you have not triggered anybody by noon, you are not pushing hard enough”.

[Sheni Coker @sheni_coker]

Yes, the government is useless, but those of you throwing plastics and trash out of your car windows are part of the problem too

[Cinderella Man @Osi_Suave]

Bro, as easy as it is to say it, I fear we have lost the opportunity.

I was raised to believe that education will always set you apart.

I graduated with a 2'1, was already working, and my parents did not let me rest because I did not have an MSc.

I had to go back to school while working full time.

Look around today bro, all that is marketed is that the more you debase yourself online, the more money you can make.

Until we decenter that money worship in our society, education will take a back seat.

Why would young people go to school when they can rage bait on X, open an all access account, and debase themselves on TikTok for earnings?

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

And like that, a rivalry feud was born. Can't wait for the next City -Chelsea game. Blood will flow 🤭

[SportsDokita (Odogwu ☝️) @Sports_Doctor2]

John Terry responds to Enzo Maresca’s letter:

“I read every word of Enzo’s letter, and all I saw were excuses. You don’t walk away from Chelsea halfway through a season because Manchester City called. That’s not a ‘difficult decision’ that’s choosing your own career over the club that trusted you and picked you up from Championship.

You say Chelsea treated you well, yet you left the players, fans and staff to deal with the mess. That’s sneaky behaviour, and no apology changes that. If you can abandon Chelsea for Manchester City today, don’t be surprised if you abandon Manchester City for Real Madrid tomorrow. Loyalty isn’t something you write in a farewell letter it’s something you prove with your actions.”

[Charlie Patrick @charliepatrick0]

I would also argue Chelsea’s decision to appoint Liam Rosenior had a far more negative impact on the season than Maresca leaving.

Obviously no explanation or responsibility for that decision as expected.

[Oo Nwoye @OoTheNigerian]

In any decent society, @tokunbo_wahab should send in his resignation.

He's failed on every count.

Environmentally, Lagos is far worse than it's ever been.

That's not to absorb the shamed @jidesanwoolu or @officialABAT, but the Tokunbo fellow is the first line of the failure.

[Foza Billions (The Oracle) @fozadoza]

I see no reason you should vote Hamzat in next year if this is what he and his principal are doing.

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

This person is the special adviser on media and publicity to the Lagos State government. He.

[Gboyega Akosile @gboyegaakosile]

He’s busy attending to very important state matters at the moment. Do you have any issues or is this another of your numerous contents for clicks and attention?

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

@imohumoren You've forgotten he would have access to bottomless pit of cash. Hard not to survive under that circumstance.

[I’m Him @tmony_overt]

Would love to hear the result of the legal action.

[Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Nigeria @Babcock_Univ]

🚨 FRAUD ALERT 🚨

Babcock University warns public of forged certificates in circulation, including fake "Honorary" ones with a non-existent "First Class Upper" classification.

We DO NOT issue such documents. "First Class Upper" doesn't exist here.

Legal action underway.
