It is the new wave in most coastal cities around the world, including those who have adopted the best of technological advancements to curtail flooding it..

He said: “The last time we experienced this kind of situation was in 2012, but then, I was not a member of the assembly. The floods also took over parts of Nataco Road and the Old Market areas of Kabawa, among other high density areas of Lokoja.
