The projected sea level rise in the coastal areas of Lagos State could be more than 1 metre by 2100, resulting in ample loss of land to the sea.

This dire forecast was presented by Dr. Iyiola Oni, of the Department of Geography, University of Lagos, in his paper 'Emerging Research and Trends on Ocean Surge in the Developing Countries: Case of Eti-Osa Area of Lagos'.

Dr. Oni's presentation was made at the 1st annual public lecture, organised by Eti-Osa Heritage Organisation, an indigenous organisation in Eti-Osa Local government of Lagos state. The public lecture theme was, 'Climate Change, Ocean surge and Sustainable Development in Nigeria'.
