ASSESSING THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS ON THE PURCHASE OF HIGH QUALITY PLUMBING MATERIALS IN LAKOWE COMMUNITY IN IBEJU LEKKI LOCAL GOVERNMENT

ABSTRACT

Lakowe is one of the coastal regions below sea level. One of the proper measures to be taken to ensure safety for residents in the community is using quality plumbing materials during the construction of houses and roads to avoid environmental mishaps. The study therefore assessed the effect of environmental hazards on the purchase of high quality plumbing materials in Lakowe community in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area. Some of the objectives of the study are; to examine the effect of environmental hazards in the community and suggest possible ways environmental problems can be solved. Out of the 3000 houses in the area, 90 residents were randomly selected and used for the study. some One key finding is that to a large extent, environmental hazards affect the choice and purchase of high quality plumbing materials in Lakowe.  The residents also agree that environmental hazards such as flooding, erosion etc. is common with Lakowe community.
