The Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KASUPDA), yesterday inspected several sites in Kaduna metropolis following complaints linked to flooding and unapproved developments.
The Director-General of the authority, Abdurrahman Yahya, led the inspection team to the affected areas including KTC Kawo, Sambo Close, Millennium City, Ungwan Rimi, Kachia Road, and Tudun Wada.
According to Yahya, the inspection was part of the agency’s initiative to proactively address planning concerns in the state.
He said some of the complaints ranged from encroachment on waterways, blockage of drainages channels, obstruction of access roads and substandard constructions, which contributes to flooding in the city.
Yahya said individuals and developers responsible for the violations would be invited for further engagement to ensure proper planning and prevent future flood risks.
