@dw.africa: Flooding is a recurring crisis across Nigeria, with communities in 33 states at high risk. Poor waste disposal, blocked drains, rapid urbanization and construction on waterways are among the factors making the problem worse. After the recent flooding in Abuja, authorities turned to demolitions — but can tearing down buildings really prevent future floods? In this episode of the AfricaLink Podcast, Eddy Micah Jr. is joined by Dr Rahab Nenadi Oluyori, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Environmental Management at the University of Abuja, and DW's Ben Shemang in Abuja to examine whether demolition is really the answer. #dwafrica #dwafricasocialmedia #dwafricalinkpodcast
