Residents of Trademore Estate, located along the Lugbe-Airport axis of the FCT, are currently protesting the planned demolition of the Estate by the FCT Administration.

The planned demolition follows the catastrophic flood incident in the Estate after heavy rainfall in the early hours of Friday, the 23rd of June.

Recall that the administration had declared the Estate a disaster zone, adding that the decision followed the “consistent and persistent” threat from flooding in the Estate, and urged residents to promptly evacuate.

Residents however came out protesting on Monday morning, calling on the Federal Capital Territory Administration to rather provide engineering solutions, than demolish houses.

Some of the residents held placards that read “Provide engineering solutions, not roadside approach”, “put an end to senseless killing”, “Trademore Estate is not a disaster zone”, etc.

Everyday na issue

Make una try dey rest

We too like demolition in this country. Our leaders hardly think of a better solution. How can you sack the whole estate just like that?
Demolition should be the last option after all possible solutions must have been exhausted.

If their lands have original papers, the government should pay compensation to them before the demolition and relocation.

I’m my guy is busy roofing his penthouse for that the same trademore…may God help them

Demolition is not the only solution government and the developers should join hands in trying other methods to resolve the issue’s fast cause more rainfall is expected

You sound like somebody that can think outside the box. Let say you’re the government, what solution would you propose here?

Remember, it’s a flooded area. Flooding will also jeopardize the place sooner or later & it can even kill people residing their..

So what will you do?

The widest part of that waterway can accommodate 10 car lanes, why will any idiot think about demolishing more houses?

This is what quota system brain them appointees lead to, Na roadside solution full their head.

But their defense tight for that place, they will line up 100 cars for road maybe if them bring like 1000 DSS agent by 3am at night, maybe then fit demolish am.

I am not in the best position to prefer a solution for the government but I will suggest they engage with the residents of the estate, hear their opinions, and what they think will be done to help their situation. Government can as well provide them with options like relocating them to another area. It's high time we start considering the plight of our citizens the way other developed countries does. These are hard times and any decisions that will affect the livelihood of our citizens ought to come with a cushioning effect. Some kind of palliative.

The flood waters doesn't come from within Trade Moore Estate but adjoining estates upland that channelled their run off waters into a single canal that passes the middle of Trade Moore Estate.
Nigerians will always look for the easiest way out which is demolition instead of engineering solution like Akwa Ibom state to solve similar situations

Why did all these demolition exercises not happen before the election if the govt is sincere??

Rise and Repeat.

Na still them go complain compare Nigeria to other place them go dey claim say na functional societies

But when the cost of being a functional society come, Dem go dey claim victimization and high handednes

Thiefnubuu shall be punished for his crimes

Lagos , Anambra, Abuja

Flood plain

Okay

Drama everyday

Would they rather perish?

That pot bellied man is still laughing...it means they are not really serious

This is fct issue it’s not a fedral government affair
Strictly fct minister is a Labour Party she should do the right thing

Nigerian government and demolition is like 🍞 and beans

And government officials granted permission for the building the estate.

What are they protesting for when their houses are already under water

Why always demolishing people's properties?
