Suleiman Adamu, minister of water resources, says Nigeria’s “economic situation” is the reason engineering solutions that will help address flooding have not been implementedthat Adamu recently said 80 percent of floods in Nigeria is caused by rainfall and not the release of the Lagdo dam.
“The flood is a combination of many things. First and foremost, there are natural disasters like earthquakes; that everybody must accept that there are certain things that are an act of God,” he said.“But there is also the human aspect to it. One particular thing I will say is that for decades, we have been bastardising our watersheds. We have been deforesting our lands; we have been degrading the soil.
