How hard can you go to get successful..... I guess not this hard, but the same for these people
THE alarm raised by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) that the rate of dredging and mining sands in Lagos is a pointer to disaster waiting to happen, is a call to action by various agencies and tiers of government. Noting that the indiscriminate mining is illegal, the non-governmental organisation called attention to the challenges it is already posing to the environment. We agree with NCF that all dredging and mining done illegally could alter eco-balance by driving into extinction animals whose existence depends on sandy beaches.
This is not the first time that experts and environmentalists would call attention to the state of the marine resources, especially the deleterious effects that dredging would have on the nation’s economic nerve-centre. The NCF had earlier referred to a study by the Nigerian Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) that indicated that: “Such un-coordinated activities by miners and dredgers are capable of causing great depths of almost six metres in the seabed”. The institute indicated that it observed the development essentially in the Banana Island to Third Mainland Bridge axis of the city.
