Flooding has destroyed residential homes, rice farms and other property in five agrarian communities in Lafiagi, Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State, leaving residents counting their losses.

The affected communities are Pututa, Tswako, Likpata, Godangi and Ekko, all within Lafiagi Ward 4.

The flooding followed heavy rainfall on Tuesday and affected homes, farmlands and other community infrastructure.

No lives were reportedly lost in the incident, but residents suffered significant damage to property and agricultural produce, with rice farms among the affected farmlands. A source of drinking water was also destroyed.

The flooding has renewed concerns over the vulnerability of riverine communities in Kwara North, particularly those located around the River Niger basin.

Governor visits affected communities

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq visited Pututa and other affected communities to assess the situation and sympathise with residents.

Speaking at the palace of the Emir of Lafiagi, Alhaji Muhammed Kudu Kawu, the governor described the recurring flooding as unfortunate.

He said the state was concerned about the destruction caused by the latest incident and noted that the government was working to provide support to affected residents.

“The purpose of this visit is to come and commiserate with the communities over the flood incident and to see how we can bring succour to the affected communities,” AbdulRazaq said.

He said the absence of fatalities was welcome but acknowledged that significant property had been destroyed.

The governor also identified the dredging of the River Niger as a possible long-term measure for addressing recurring flooding in the area.

According to him, dredging is beyond the capacity of the state government alone, but the state would continue to engage relevant federal agencies for support.

These include the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the National Inland Waterways Authority and the Hydro-Electric Power Producing Areas Development Commission.

SEMA ordered to assess losses

AbdulRazaq directed the Kwara State Emergency Management Agency to visit the affected communities and document the losses recorded during the flooding.

The assessment is expected to provide information on the extent of damage to homes, farms and other property and help determine the assistance required by affected residents.

The governor also announced N10 million in immediate support for residents of Pututa.

The money is intended to help provide basic needs, including food, medical assistance and drinking water, following the destruction caused by the flood.

PUNCH had earlier reported that the state government described the N10 million intervention as part of its immediate response to the disaster after floodwater submerged parts of Pututa.

Rice farms washed away

The flooding also caused losses for farmers whose rice farms were affected by the rising water.

The five affected communities are predominantly agrarian, meaning that damage to farmland could have wider consequences for household incomes and local food production.

Residents said the floodwater washed away crops and affected agricultural land that communities depend on for their livelihoods.

The destruction of a drinking-water source has also created an additional concern for residents who need access to safe water in the aftermath of the flooding.

Communities seek lasting solution

Residents of the affected communities have called for more permanent measures to prevent recurring flooding.

The communities are located in a riverine area, and residents have experienced flooding during periods of heavy rainfall.

The head of Pututa, Alhaji Muhammed Manko Ibrahim, appealed to the state government to assist the community in finding a lasting solution to the problem.

Lafiagi Ward 4 contains about 31 villages, according to the head of the Pututa community, who said the riverine nature of the area makes residents particularly vulnerable to flooding.

The governor’s proposal to pursue the dredging of the River Niger has therefore become part of the wider discussion around long-term flood management in the area.

Radio Nigeria also reported that AbdulRazaq described dredging of the River Niger as a lasting solution and said the state would continue engaging federal agencies over the matter.

Flooding remains a recurring risk

The latest incident highlights the continuing flood risk facing communities located along the River Niger and other waterways.

While emergency assistance can help affected families recover from immediate losses, residents and authorities continue to face the challenge of finding longer-term measures to reduce the impact of flooding.

Such measures may include improved flood monitoring, protection of waterways, resilient infrastructure and better preparedness in vulnerable communities.

For the affected residents of Pututa, Tswako, Likpata, Godangi and Ekko, the immediate priority remains recovery from the latest disaster, replacement of damaged property and farmland, and access to food, water and other basic necessities.

The state government’s damage assessment and emergency support are expected to provide the basis for further intervention as residents begin to recover from the flooding.

Flooding has displaced families, disrupted schools and businesses and submerged homes and roads across parts of Rivers and Delta states following days of heavy rainfall.

In Rivers State, several communities in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Area have been badly affected, with residents forced to leave their homes and seek temporary shelter in vehicles, uncompleted buildings and other locations.

For Vivian Onyeije, a mother of four from Rumusita in Eneka, Obio/Akpor, the flooding has forced her family from one temporary shelter to another.

Floodwater first entered her home and rose to waist level, forcing her to leave with her children. She moved to her shop, but the water reached there two days later.

The family then moved into an uncompleted building around the Rumopku axis, only to be forced out again after another heavy downpour submerged the surrounding area.

The family eventually resorted to sleeping in their vehicle.

Her experience reflects the situation facing several families across parts of Rivers State, where floodwaters have submerged residential areas, businesses and roads, leaving residents searching for alternative accommodation.

The Guardian reported that hundreds of families across Port Harcourt and neighbouring communities have been affected, with some residents relocating to villages because of the flooding and rising accommodation costs.

Schools forced to close

The flooding has also disrupted education in affected communities.

At Rumuakoara Community Secondary School in Nkpolu, Obio/Akpor, rising water forced teachers and students to leave the school premises.

Several schools in Rumusita along the Eneka axis were also affected, disrupting academic activities and preventing many children from attending classes.

Residents said the situation had affected both public and private schools in the area, while some churches and other community facilities also suspended activities because access had become difficult.

Businesses and public facilities affected

Businesses in areas including Nkpolu and Rumuekini have been forced to close as floodwater spread through roads and commercial areas.

Churches, mosques and other public facilities around Ozouba and Nkpolu were also affected, with some closing while others recorded reduced activities.

A wedding venue in GRA, Port Harcourt, was among facilities affected by the flooding.

The University of Port Harcourt has also experienced flooding around parts of its premises, although the institution said the water usually drains towards the Choba River after rainfall stops.

The university’s Public Relations Officer, Dr Sam Kpenu, explained that prolonged rainfall makes the situation worse because the water does not have enough time to drain away.

Several roads and communities submerged

The flooding has affected a wide range of communities and major roads across Port Harcourt and its surrounding areas.

Areas reported to have been affected include Uzoba, Rumuekini, Choba, Eneka, Stadium Road, NTA Road, Mgboba, GRA, Chokocho in Etche, Peter Odili Road, Rupokwu, Alakahia, Oyigbo, Atali, Rumuparali, Ogbogoro, Egbelu, Cornerstone, Iwofe, Rumulumeni, Rumoaholi and Elikpokwu.

Several buildings have been submerged, while some structures in Rumuekini reportedly developed cracks.

Vehicles have also been stranded, with floodwater making several roads difficult or impossible to use.

The scale of the flooding has prompted some residents to compare the current situation with the devastating floods recorded in 2012.

There have also been concerns about the emergency response, with reports indicating that many displaced families had not found organised evacuation centres or Internally Displaced Persons camps at the time of the report.

In Obio/Akpor, however, the local government chairman mobilised a flood committee, which was observed desilting a canal along SARS Road following reports of the flooding.

Delta communities also badly affected

The flooding has extended beyond Rivers State, with several communities in Delta State also experiencing widespread inundation.

Heavy rainfall affected parts of Udu, Uvwie, Warri, Ughelli, Agbarho, Okpe and Ughelli South local government areas, as well as parts of Agbor in Ika South and Okpanam in Oshimili North.

In Udu, floodwater took over the popular Udu Express Junction and affected the road between Ovwian and Otor-Udu.

The Udu Bridge Road leading to Udu Express Junction and Orhuwhorun Road was also submerged, making movement difficult.

Communities including Ekete Inland, Ekete Waterside, Okpaka, Opete, Ovwian, Orhuwhorun, Odjikpata, Emadadja and Ujevwu were among the affected areas.

In Warri, residents in Ubeji, Okere, Abala Street near the Third Marine Gate of Igbudu and Okumagba Avenue were reportedly forced out of their homes.

Flooding also affected Alero Primary School and Igbudu Primary School, disrupting school activities.

Homes and businesses affected in Uvwie

Several parts of Uvwie, including Effurun, Refinery Road, Aka Avenue, Effurun GRA, Jakpa Road, Ebrumede, Ohore 1 and 2, Ugbomro, Alegbo, Alaka, Ugbolokposo, Effurun-Sapele Road, Shaguolo in Ekpan and Niger-Cat, were also affected.

Homes, shops, schools, hotels and vehicle yards were reportedly surrounded or submerged by floodwater.

Families were seen moving out of their homes while business operators attempted to protect vehicles, equipment, goods and other property from the water.

The Effurun-Agbarho section of the East-West Road was also almost completely overtaken by floodwater, further disrupting transportation between communities.

In Okuokoko, Okpe Local Government Area, several families reportedly abandoned their homes after floodwater entered residential premises.

Residents of Princess Jokoh Close, off Freshville Street, and Nehemiah Street near the Osubi-Okuokoko boundary were among those affected.

Residents linked part of the flooding to inadequate drainage infrastructure, while concerns were also raised about road and construction activities that may have affected existing water channels.

Drainage and urban planning concerns

The flooding has renewed concerns about drainage infrastructure, waste management, urban planning and the ability of communities to cope with increasingly intense rainfall.

In Rivers State, residents and environmental observers have raised concerns about blocked and poorly maintained drainage systems, indiscriminate waste disposal and sand-filling activities.

There have also been concerns about buildings and other developments being approved without adequate consideration of their environmental suitability.

Environmental expert Daniel Briggs said flood management should combine drainage planning and maintenance with enforcement of building regulations, protection of waterways, proper waste management and rapid emergency response.

He also noted that developers and property owners have responsibilities where construction, sand-filling or obstruction of natural waterways contributes to flooding.

The issue is not limited to Rivers and Delta. Nigeria’s 2026 flood outlook has identified thousands of communities across the country as being at risk, highlighting the wider challenge of flood preparedness and urban resilience.

Residents call for urgent intervention

Residents affected by the flooding have called for urgent government intervention, including relief materials, temporary accommodation and stronger emergency response.

A resident of Rumuekini, Blessing Friday, said many people had been displaced and were moving their belongings from one place to another without a permanent place to stay.

He called for the ecological fund to be used to assist affected communities and urged the government to provide relief materials while strengthening emergency response systems.

Another resident, Elizabeth Woke, described the situation as distressing and appealed for immediate support for displaced families.

In Rumusita, flood victim Vitalis Barile said water entered homes and destroyed property, with floodwater reaching waist level in some locations.

He said residents found fish swimming inside compounds and even kitchens as water spread through the community.

According to Barile, some residents have relocated while others are staying in uncompleted buildings because finding alternative accommodation at short notice has become difficult.

He also said the flooding had affected schools and religious activities across the community.

Another resident, Emma Friday, called for both government action and greater responsibility from residents, particularly in relation to waste disposal and the obstruction of drainage channels.

For residents across Rivers and Delta states, the immediate concerns remain the safety of families, protection of property, access to homes and businesses, and the availability of emergency assistance.

The latest flooding has also brought renewed attention to the need for better drainage systems, stronger urban planning, protection of natural waterways and long-term flood management measures in communities repeatedly affected by heavy rainfall.

Flooding has disrupted life and economic activities in Nkpolu-Rumuigbo community, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, with residents and business owners counting losses after heavy rainfall left parts of the area submerged.

The flooding affected homes, businesses, roads and other facilities, making movement difficult and forcing some residents to move their belongings to safer locations.

Several business owners in the affected areas were unable to open their shops or continue normal operations as floodwater spread across streets and commercial areas.

Residents said the situation has become a major concern as rising water continues to affect movement and daily activities in the community.

The flooding has also added pressure to communities across Port Harcourt and surrounding areas that have experienced widespread inundation following heavy rainfall.

Businesses forced to close

Businesses around Nkpolu and neighbouring communities have been particularly affected, with traders and other operators unable to access their premises.

The disruption has resulted in lost trading hours and damage to property and goods, adding to the economic burden on residents who depend on daily business activities for their livelihoods.

Similar disruptions have been reported in other parts of Rivers State, where flooding has affected commercial activities, schools, religious centres and residential areas.

Homes and residents affected

For residents living in low-lying parts of the affected communities, the floodwater has made it difficult to remain in their homes.

Some residents have had to move valuable belongings to higher locations or leave flooded buildings altogether.

Reports from other affected communities in Rivers State described residents attempting to rescue household items from rising water, while some families were forced to seek temporary shelter elsewhere.

The flooding has also affected schools and other community facilities. In Nkpolu, rising water forced activities at Rumuakoara Community Secondary School to be disrupted, while schools in other affected communities also experienced difficulties.

Religious activities have equally been affected in some locations, with churches and other public facilities recording reduced activities or shutting down because residents could no longer move freely through flooded areas.

Roads and movement disrupted

Flooding has continued to affect movement along several roads and communities in and around Port Harcourt.

Areas reported to have experienced flooding include Nkpolu, Rumuigbo, Rumuekini, Ozouba, Choba, Eneka, NTA Road, Stadium Road, Mgboba, GRA, Peter Odili Road, Rupokwu, Alakahia, Oyigbo, Atali, Rumulumeni, Rumoaholi and other communities.

Some roads became difficult or impossible to navigate, leaving motorists and pedestrians stranded and disrupting access to homes and businesses.

The recurring flooding has also renewed concerns about drainage, road infrastructure and the ability of existing urban infrastructure to cope with heavy rainfall.

Growing concern over recurring flooding

Flooding has become a recurring challenge in several parts of Port Harcourt, particularly during periods of intense rainfall.

Earlier reports on the Nkpolu-Rumuigbo axis have also highlighted the condition of Obi Wali Road, where flooding has previously disrupted businesses and movement between Rumuigbo Junction and Nkpolu Junction.

Residents and traders in the area have repeatedly raised concerns about the impact of flooding on businesses and transportation.

The latest incident has again drawn attention to the need for effective drainage systems, functioning roads and stronger flood management measures in vulnerable communities.

For residents and business owners affected by the latest flooding, the immediate concern remains the recovery of damaged property and goods, restoration of access and measures to prevent similar losses when heavy rainfall returns.

With flooding affecting several communities across Rivers State, the situation continues to highlight the challenges facing urban areas where drainage and road infrastructure have struggled to cope with intense rainfall.

Flooding in parts of Abuja has renewed concerns about construction around waterways, green areas and drainage corridors in the Federal Capital Territory.

Several properties in Maitama Extension were affected after heavy rainfall over the weekend. Residents linked the flooding to blocked drainage channels and construction around natural water routes.

Properties affected reportedly included residences linked to Kano State Deputy Governor, Murtala Garo, and former Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase.

The flooding followed heavy rainfall that also disrupted movement across several parts of Abuja. Wuse 1, Wuse 2, Durumi, Gaduwa and Gudu were among the areas affected.

Motorists became stranded on flooded roads, while some vehicles reportedly developed faults after remaining in standing water for hours. Some businesses and residential properties also experienced disruption.

FG Convenes Stakeholders’ Meeting on Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway Over Flooding Concerns

Maitama Extension residents raise concerns

Residents in Maitama Extension said flooding was particularly severe around some lower-lying properties.

One estate in the area reportedly brought in engineers to help remove floodwater. By the following evening, much of the water had gone down, but signs of the flooding remained.

Residents also raised concerns about construction close to waterways. They said blocked drainage channels, waste and changes to natural water routes may have worsened the impact of the rainfall.

A bridge near the estate was also reportedly submerged during the downpour. The water later receded towards a nearby pond and gully.

Another resident, Shamsudeen Karaye, said some streets in downtown Maitama became difficult to use during the rainfall. He said residents switched from smaller cars to SUVs to reduce the risk of getting trapped.

Concerns have also emerged over a large building under construction near Golfview Estate. Residents alleged that the development sits close to a waterway.

Another source alleged that about 20 duplexes are under construction on a designated green area in Maitama Extension. The source also claimed that developers were seeking to convert part of a canal into an access road.

The allegations have raised questions about development control and compliance with Abuja’s planning framework. The source questioned how such developments could receive approval if they affect green areas or natural drainage routes.

HDAN calls for development audit

The Housing Development Advocacy Network (HDAN) has called for a review of developments around waterways and green areas across Abuja.

Its Executive Director, Barr. Festus Adebayo, said the recent flooding should prompt authorities to examine how rapid development affects drainage and stormwater management.

Adebayo said some affected properties in Maitama and Wuse are high-value homes and commercial properties. He argued that the flooding shows the risks that can arise when urban development does not keep pace with drainage and environmental planning.

He said Abuja’s original planning framework includes waterways, floodplains, drainage corridors and green areas as important parts of the city’s infrastructure.

HDAN wants the Federal Capital Territory Administration to conduct a comprehensive audit of developments around flood-prone areas, drainage routes and designated green spaces.

The group also wants authorities to examine approvals for projects that may have blocked natural water channels or changed existing drainage patterns.

Flooding creates wider housing risks

The debate has implications for Abuja’s housing and real estate market. Properties built in areas with poor drainage or altered water channels may face higher exposure to flood damage.

Flooding can also disrupt roads and access routes. This affects residents, businesses, emergency services and property values.

HDAN said Abuja also needs a wider stormwater management plan. Such a plan should combine drainage maintenance, stronger development control, environmental protection and better urban planning.

The organisation called for stronger protection of waterways and floodplains. It also urged authorities to preserve green areas, maintain drainage systems and investigate questionable approvals.

HDAN further called for tougher enforcement against indiscriminate waste disposal, which can block drainage channels.

The flooding has therefore placed renewed attention on how Abuja manages land, construction and infrastructure as the city expands. Effective development control, protection of natural drainage routes and adequate stormwater infrastructure will remain important to protecting homes, businesses and long-term investment in the capital.

The post Abuja Flooding Raises Fresh Concerns Over Green Areas and Waterways appeared first on Housing TV Africa.

Senator Ireti Kingibe, who represents the Federal Capital Territory, has accused the administration of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of worsening Abuja’s flooding problems through developments she says have encroached on green areas, flood channels and flood plains.

Kingibe made the allegations while discussing the recent flooding recorded across parts of Abuja, arguing that some planning and development decisions have reduced the city’s capacity to manage heavy rainfall.

According to the senator, Abuja’s flooding problem predates the current FCT administration, but she believes the situation has become significantly worse over the past three to four years.

She said she had previously raised concerns with relevant FCT agencies about development around green areas and waterways.

Green areas and waterways under scrutiny

Kingibe said construction on areas that previously provided routes for stormwater has restricted the movement of water during heavy rainfall.

She specifically pointed to developments around parts of Asokoro, Jabi and Wuse, arguing that some gullies, flood channels and green areas have been built on or restricted.

The senator said the city’s original planning framework was designed to preserve certain areas for environmental and drainage purposes and warned that continued development in such locations could increase flood risks.

She also cited concerns around sewage and drainage infrastructure, saying some facilities require urgent attention.

Flooding exposes Abuja’s infrastructure challenge

The recent flooding affected several parts of the capital, renewing concerns about the city’s drainage capacity and the pace of urban expansion.

The problem is not limited to rainfall itself. Drainage capacity, waste disposal, development patterns and enforcement of planning regulations all influence how effectively stormwater moves through an urban area.

Kingibe called for rubbish to be cleared from streets and drainage channels, noting that waste can quickly be carried into drains during heavy rainfall and worsen blockages.

She also called for a broader review of Abuja’s sewage and drainage infrastructure.

FCT Administration says flooding predates Wike

The FCT Administration has rejected attempts to attribute Abuja’s flooding solely to the current minister.

Wike’s spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, said Abuja experienced serious flooding before Wike assumed office, citing incidents recorded in areas including Wuse, Jabi and Lokogoma in previous years.

He argued that the latest flooding reflects the challenges created by the rapid expansion of the capital, including inadequate drainage infrastructure, waste management problems and pressure on existing systems.

The FCT Administration also said it is reviewing Abuja’s 1979 Master Plan to reflect the city’s current population and development realities.

Planning decisions face renewed scrutiny

The disagreement has brought Abuja’s land-use planning system back into focus.

Kingibe has argued that the authorities must explain how developments affecting green areas, flood channels and flood plains are being approved.

The FCT Administration, meanwhile, maintains that flooding is a longstanding challenge and says it is taking steps to improve drainage and address the city’s changing infrastructure needs.

The debate highlights a wider challenge facing Abuja: how to accommodate rapid urban growth without sacrificing the environmental corridors and infrastructure needed to manage extreme rainfall.

For residents, the immediate concern is reducing the risk of further flooding. For planners and authorities, the longer-term challenge is ensuring that new development does not create additional pressure on drainage systems.

As the debate continues, greater transparency around land approvals, master-plan compliance, drainage capacity and development in environmentally sensitive areas could help establish what is driving Abuja’s worsening flood risk.

Persistent rainfall across Lagos has left residents grappling with flooded highways, severe traffic congestion, and rising transportation costs, forcing many commuters, traders, and business owners to adjust their daily routines to cope with the prolonged rainy season. The worsening conditions have highlighted the growing need for improved urban drainage systems and resilient transport infrastructure.

Many commuters now leave their homes before dawn to avoid hours of gridlock caused by flooded roads. Others rely on weather forecasts, navigation apps, raincoats, and waterproof gear to minimise disruptions to their daily activities. Residents also report that commercial transport fares often increase significantly whenever heavy rainfall occurs, placing additional financial pressure on households already struggling with the rising cost of living.

Motorists say prolonged traffic congestion during rainfall has increased fuel consumption and vehicle maintenance costs, while public transport users complain that transport fares frequently surge during periods of flooding. For many workers, the rainy season has become a daily challenge requiring careful planning and additional expenses to reach workplaces on time.

Traders across several markets in Lagos say the rainy season presents both opportunities and challenges. While sellers of umbrellas and raincoats have experienced higher demand, many market operators report reduced customer traffic, damaged goods, and lost income whenever heavy rainfall and flooding discourage shoppers from visiting markets.

The situation aligns with the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet)‘s 2026 Seasonal Climate Prediction, which forecasts a longer-than-normal rainy season for Lagos. Experts say the recurring floods underscore the need for improved drainage infrastructure, regular desilting of waterways, stricter enforcement of urban planning regulations, and greater investment in climate-resilient infrastructure to reduce the economic and environmental impact of flooding.

Urban planning experts note that addressing flooding in Lagos will require coordinated investments in stormwater management, road infrastructure, and sustainable city planning. They argue that strengthening drainage networks and preventing the obstruction of waterways will improve mobility, reduce transport costs, and enhance the city’s resilience to extreme weather events

Nigeria has taken a major step toward combating the country’s recurring flood disasters with the launch of a $500 million fundraising campaign dedicated to building stronger, safer, and more resilient communities.

The initiative—Global Flood Disaster Management Project (GFDMP)—was unveiled by the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) in collaboration with key national and international partners, under the theme “Stay Afloat.”

At the launch, the Minister of Agriculture, Abubakar Kyari, who represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, described flooding as a growing global threat that disrupts livelihoods, undermines food production, destroys infrastructure, and deepens poverty across Nigeria.

He explained that climate change continues to intensify the scale and frequency of the disasters.

Kyari noted that the GFDMP will introduce modern hydrological tools, real-time monitoring systems, and digital alert mechanisms that allow at-risk communities to prepare before floods strike.

He added that the project will also invest in resilient infrastructure such as improved drainage systems, river embankments, wetland rehabilitation, and climate-smart urban planning.

NIHSA Director-General Umar Mohammed stressed that flood figures represent real people whose lives and livelihoods have been altered by displacement and loss. He explained that preparedness remains far cheaper and more humane than emergency response after disasters occur.

Mohammed said the initiative aligns with the National Flood Emergency Preparedness Framework and supports the government’s wider climate-resilience agenda.

He called for shared responsibility, noting that long-term protection requires sustained investment from government, the private sector, development partners, and philanthropic institutions.

Chairman of the House Committee on Hydrological Services, Dr. Pascal Agbodike, pledged strong legislative backing for the initiative, while NIHSA Board Chairman, Prof. Salihu Mustapha, emphasized that every Nigerian has a role in flood prevention, from community vigilance to responsible construction and land use.

With many states still recovering from this year’s floods, the newly launched fund provides a critical opportunity to reduce future losses and strengthen national resilience.
