Following the rain on Sunday, portions of Jedo Estate on the Airport Road in Abuja are now under water due to flooding.
After Glory Dome, the road connecting the airport road to Jedo Estate has been inundated.
Every time it rains, the road floods.
Many drivers and commuters were left stuck since the floods made it impossible for them to reach the road.
However, Michael Agaji, a resident of Jedo Estate, who spoke with our correspondent, disclosed that the flood stopped pedestrians and drivers from passing the area.
He attributed the recurrence of flooding to the estate developers’ negligence in designing a suitable drainage system.
Agaji said, “The flooding in this area has always been an issue whenever there is a heavy rain. Cars, Motorcycle and even residents who live around can’t pass.
“That road was constructed by developers of Jedo Estate, the bridge there is okay, but other estates around didn’t work on their drainages by channeling it to the right place. All they did was to build fence that’s all. So whenever rain falls the water will over flow the bridge and prevent people from passing except when the gravity reduces.
“You know when one fail to create water passage, of course water will make way for itself.
“Unlike River Park Estate they did their drainage very wide.”
Alhaji Abbas Idris, the Director-General of the FCT Emergency Management Agency, reportedly issued a warning to people about not obstructing drainage systems.
Idris assured that the appropriate agencies were working to remove all blockages while attributing the territory’s floods to indiscriminate development, infractions, and urbanization.
“We will advise them to remove any obstructions, nobody should assume that they can block waterways just because they want to have a wider space.” he said.
