Synopsis "Managing the Rising Tide"

Every year, the rivers rise - and so does the cost of unpreparedness. Situated at the dramatic confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers, Lokoja stands as one of Nigeria's most flood-vulnerable cities. This groundbreaking study cuts through the complexity of urban flood management to reveal the critical role that institutions, governance structures, and capacity building play in determining who survives the flood - and who does not. Drawing on rich mixed-method research, including surveys of 400 residents, field observations, and comprehensive policy analysis, this work exposes the gaps between policy intent and ground-level reality. It challenges decision-makers, urban planners, and community leaders to rethink how flood resilience is built - not just with infrastructure, but with knowledge, coordination, and empowered communities. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or concerned citizen, this book offers clear insights and actionable pathways toward a more flood-resilient Nigeria.
