Achusa Floods: Government Action and Calls for Mercy | Nigeria News

Heavy rains unleash catastrophic flooding in Achusa Community, Makurdi, swallowing homes and displacing residents—officials call it one of the worst disasters in recent memory. Governor Alia leads a high-level assessment team that discovers illegal construction on natural waterways as the root cause, blocking drainage and amplifying the flood’s impact. The government has vowed to demolish these structures, offering compensation while cracking down on illegal builds, and is already working on critical drainage upgrades along Hotel Lucia to Achusa Road. Residents, however, are pleading for compassion—asking for fair compensation for all affected landlords and urging swift completion of infrastructure to avoid future devastation as waters slowly recede.
