Illegal dredging worsening pressure on housing – LASG

The article “Illegal dredging worsening pressure on housing – LASG” reports that the Lagos State Government (LASG) has warned that unregulated, illegal dredging activities along waterways are accelerating land erosion and flooding, which in turn are reducing the already scarce housing stock in Lagos. The government says the sediment buildup and loss of shoreline are forcing residents out of vulnerable coastal neighborhoods, intensifying the city’s housing shortage and prompting calls for stricter enforcement of dredging regulations.
