One week after Minister Nyesom Wike's directive to demolish buildings obstructing Abuja's green areas and waterways, many affected locations have not yet been cleared. The city's master plan has shown signs of distortion, a trend attributed by residents and experts to recent flooding that submerged homes and major roads. High on the list of affected districts are Maitama Extension, Wuse 1 and 2, Durumi, Gaduwa, and Gudu.
Residents are worried that unchecked construction might exacerbate flooding, strain the environment, and strip them of recreational spaces.
