Adamu who noted that the investments that would prevent flood are not something that can be achieved under one administration, also stated that flood cannot be prevented but can only be minimized by the government.

May not be 30 years but definitely not less than 16 years.

Flooding in Nigeria is a combination of natural factors like climate change and human factors like creation of dams, deforestation, poor town planning etc.

For instance, Last year on this same Nairaland, people were cursing Nigeria for supplying electricity to neighbouring African countries while Nigerians had no light. I explained here that if every country River Niger flows through was allowed to create a dam, Nigeria will experience extreme flooding annually. This was the initiative of a past government that many "intelligent" Nigerians think their policies were "stupid".

The treaty that allowed Nigeria rather operate a dam and transmit power to some nearby countries instead of them all building their own dams is why the flooding is not worse than what we have today and occurs less frequently.

That's just one example. Explain it to the average Nigerian on the street and he'll call you pro government and partisan I reserve my comments about the bulk of Nigerians who are the first to call people urchins.

The head of a government department reads out a report prepared by some of the best experts in the field and polytechnic graduates without an iota of experience in the field log in Nairaland to type shit.

There are many bilateral/multilateral agreements, long term infrastructural planning, billion dollar projects, partnerships with foreign governments and corporations and the cooperation of state governments that will be required to prevent the disaster or reduce it drastically. It's not an eight years job.

They claimed MAZI NNAMDI KANU IS SCAMMING IGBOS...BUT YOU SEE APC GOVERNMENT
