Background of the Study
Flooding has been a persistent challenge for many urban areas in Nigeria, including Kubwa, an urban district within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Nyesom Wike, as the FCT Minister, has focused on tackling infrastructural issues, including flood control, as part of his broader agenda for urban renewal. Flooding in Kubwa has been exacerbated by rapid urbanization, poor drainage systems, and the encroachment of residential areas into flood-prone zones. As a result, many parts of Kubwa have experienced seasonal flooding, which leads to loss of property, displacement, and disruption of daily activities.
Nyesom Wike’s flood control strategies, which include improved drainage systems, embankments, and early warning systems, aim to reduce the risks and consequences of flooding in Kubwa and other parts of the FCT. The success of these initiatives is crucial for the long-term sustainability of urban development in the FCT. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of Wike’s flood control strategies in Kubwa, focusing on their impact on residents’ lives and the overall urban environment.
Statement of the Problem
Despite various flood control efforts, flooding remains a recurring issue in Kubwa, leading to considerable human and economic costs. The failure of previous strategies and insufficient infrastructural development in flood-prone areas raises questions about the effectiveness of Wike’s current initiatives. This study will assess whether Wike’s flood control strategies have been successful in addressing the flooding issues in Kubwa and whether the strategies are sustainable in the long run.
