AKWAIBOM State government has attributed perennial flooding and erosion in Uyo, and its environs to successive government­s’ failure to follow the drainage Master Plan for the state capital.

Commission­er for Environmen­t, Charles Udoh, who fielded questions from journalist­s in Uyo, yesterday, said most of the erosion and flood in the metropolis were induced by activities of residents who were building houses on water channels.

“Unfortunat­ely, the Uyo drainage master plan was not followed in the past, so we are building an 8.4km drainage network that will take water from the Atiku Abubakar Way to the Secretaria­t roundabout, linking up to the Women Developmen­t Centre along IBB Way to Atan Offot and the PDP secretaria­t.”

“Because of the volume of water in the areas, the drainage will carry 50,000 litres of water per second. That is what we are doing in the IBB Flood Project. We also sought emergency interventi­on around Etim Umanah and Anua, which is being expected by August.
