Wike begins demolition of buildings blocking waterways in Maitama

By GhanaSummary NewsroomNigeria

The enforcement exercise began on Tuesday, following a directive by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who ordered the removal of structures built on or blocking designated water channels across the FCT.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration has commenced the demolition of buildings obstructing waterways in Maitama, Abuja, as part of measures to restore drainage channels and tackle flooding in the nation’s capital.

The latest operation is therefore aimed at clearing designated water channels of illegal or obstructive structures and improving the flow of stormwater within the capital.
