	E: The Environmental Magazine: Africa underwater: Nigeria's coastline is besieged by Global Warming - Currents - Brief ...
		The most threatened coastline in Nigeria is on Victoria Island off the Lagos coast, where many of the country's wealthiest people live.
		Experts say the rapid erosion of the island, and indeed, of most of Lagos' coastline, can be largely attributed to two breakwaters known as the "East and West Moles," which the British colonial government constructed between 1908 and 1912.
		A contract was signed by Nigeria's former military dictator, the late General Sani Abacha, to use stonework to reinforce the breakwaters in 1996.

		Even though the islands have a network of drainage channels consisting of both ancillary and main channels with outfalls to the Lagos Lagoon, flooding hazards are worsened when heavy rains or storm surges coincide with high tides.

		A report of the case study was prepared entitled ‘Study of main drainage channels of Victoria and Ikoyi Islands in Lagos, Nigeria and their response to tidal and sea level changes’.
