Uyo Flood: Etido Inyang blames influential persons BY EMMANUEL AKPAN

The Special Adviser to the State Government on Technical Matters, Engr. Etido Inyang has stated that the menace of flooding in Uyo metropolis is caused by some influential persons who have decided to build their houses on floodplains especially at Ewet Housing Estate.
Engr. Etido Inyang hinted this last weekend during his paper presentation titled “Flooding and Flood Control, Akwa Ibom State Example” at the Ibom Tropicana complex, Uyo.

 
He noted that some people build on the floodplains intentionally because of the influence they command and that this act has caused lots of damages to properties and lives. He lauded the present administration’s determination to stop flood in the urban areas by providing road side drainages on the newly constructed roads and advised people not to build on the flood channels to enable the free flow of water in the city of Uyo.
