Nigeria’s recurring floods have become a material economic and social risk, destroying household assets, disrupting livelihoods, displacing families and placing additional pressure on public infrastructure.

In this edition of WebTV Focus, Gabriel Jude speaks with Nyananso Gabriel Ekanem, Water and Sanitation Thematic Lead at the NESG and Managing Consultant at Weircapacity Ltd, on the economic impact of flooding, the adequacy of government intervention and the measures required to improve household preparedness.

The conversation examines how weak urban planning, inadequate drainage systems, poor enforcement and limited preventive investment continue to increase flood exposure despite repeated seasonal forecasts and warnings. It also considers the health, financial and psychological consequences for affected households and the need to move public policy from emergency relief towards coordinated prevention, resilient infrastructure and accountable urban development.
