Demolitions for Public Safety in Abuja | Nigeria News

Former Rep. Sam Onuigbo backs Minister Nyesom Wike’s bold move to demolish buildings blocking Abuja’s drainage systems, calling it a necessary sacrifice for public safety over private property. As renewed flooding hits the capital, Wike has ordered the removal of illegal constructions on waterways — even targeting high-profile sites — to restore flow and prevent disaster. Onuigbo, now President of Globe Legislators International, argues that when structures endanger thousands, overriding public interest demands action. The Minister also points to climate change, weak enforcement, and waste mismanagement as key contributors, vowing to tackle long-standing violations despite past inaction. This aggressive cleanup aims to save lives and protect the city’s future — a tough but essential step. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
