Hello, your complaint will be forwarded to the appropriate authorities.
Hello, the feedback we received is that in highway design, cross culverts are usually located at lowest points along the corridor (profile) of the road. Any attempt to shift them from where they are supposed to be located will lead to greater environmental issues as water cannot flow up.
In the case of the channelisation behind the Cooperative building, the place happens to be one of the lowest points along the road project corridor. However, the discharge in this particular case was guided to the stream to prevent it from causing any havoc to the properties along its course. Under normal circumstances, environmental laws do not allow for buildings to be erected on water/ run-off course.
Furthermore, the channel was existing before the commencement of the construction of Iseyin-Ogbomoso Road project. The contractor only guided the runoff to the stream.
