The report, which was submitted to the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, made several recommendations, including rerouting, repairing, fencing and screening of several channels; construction of new channels; increasing beach height; and a public awareness campaign to discourage dumping of solid refuse in the drainage channels.
