Reaction To The The Seismic Earth Movement In Abuja by lordsterlin(m): 7:09am On Sep 08, 2018
Here again is another evidence that our systems are generally run on assumptions .
This letter surely confirms the validity of pictorial and audio reports that surely excited diverse fears BUT fails to provide the professional efforts being made to RIGHTLY investigate the manifestation.

Everything is based on unverified ASSUMPTION, and the general public is being implored TO STAY CALM? JUST LIKE THAT?

In sane climes where technology and professionalism are invited to address and challenge the frontiers of nature for the good of Man, serious seismic investigations by the appropriate institutions with competence and capacity must have commenced and periodic outcome feedbacks would have started whetting the appetites of the general public to shore up this bandied conviction that all is well.

Coming down to the implications of the development to safety, investment , and economic potentials in built environment sector, I wish to state that the investments in the housing sector and home off-takers confidence remains the greatest casualty.

The quantum of risks exposure that this tremor engenders for the industry is better imagined hence this simplistic response by FEMA need be pointedly followed up deeper and farther. We need scientifically justified assurances, and or worst case(s) scenario proposition that will serve the right basis for redemptive/mitigated design proposals, as well provide assurances that will shore the confidence of real estate investors in the built environment.

I therefore posit that all stakeholders in the Building and infrastructure development industry, most especially all the the professional groups in the Built Environment Industry should specifically demand for proper scientific investigation into this earth movement manifestation if the benefits of the early warning signs it has triggered off must be rightly harvested.

A stitch in time surely saves nine. We must avoid the crass politicisation of very serious matters, and the TIME TO ACT IS NOW!
