  "summary": "The Lagos State Government has disputed a claim that Alimosho hospital has only one dialysis machine. The claim was made by Nigerian skit maker and social media influencer Akewusola Oladipupo, popularly known as MC Always, in a video posted on 17 September, according to Premium Times.\n\nThere is no further information about the dispute or the current state of the hospital's dialysis facilities.\n\nSeparately, the Lagos State Government has warned residents in flood-prone and low-lying areas to move to safer, elevated areas following a seven-day flood alert issued by the Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency. The warning, which covers 19 to 25 September, includes Lagos and 14 other states. Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, listed several areas considered vulnerable to flooding, including Eti-Osa, Lagos Island, and parts of Ajah.",
