The House of Representatives has decried that perennial flooding is on the increase geometrically in the nation’s capital, with the recent flooding at Trademore Estate which was as a result of heavy downpour on 23 June 2023, when houses were submerged in water, while some were pulled down and killing a lecturer at the University of Abuja.
This was sequel to the adoption of a motion by a lawmaker representing AMAC/Bwari federal constituency of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja Honourable Joshua Obika, on the “Call for Intervention on the Perennial Flooding in the Federal Capital Territory”, on Wednesday at plenary.
Honourable Obika also said there is the need to call the Federal Government agencies related to tackling Flooding in FCT to avert future occurrences which is inevitable.
According to him, the alarming upsurge of flood in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) over the years due to heavy uncontrollable floods have left tales of woes in the minds of the affected families.
The lawmaker also noted that the periodic flooding in Lokogoma, Galadimawa and particularly Trademore estate and other adjourning Estates on the Airport road has led to loss of lives and properties.
