Project Overview
Purpose of Flood Risk Management and Drainage Masterplan
On 26th August 2011, a rainfall downpour of 187.5 mm (NWRI, 2011) occurred in around 6 hours resulting in the overflow of the Eleyele reservoir, causing the death of more than 120 people and inflicting serious damage to infrastructure (many bridges collapsed, roads washed away, and substantial property loss)
Following the floods, The Executive Governor of Oyo State, his Excellency, Senator Ishaq Abiola Ajimobi, set up a task force on flood prevention and management.
The outcome was a report containing short, medium and long-term recommendations to the State Government, which included the proposal to prepare three masterplans for the city:
- Ibadan City Masterplan
- Solid Waste Masterplan
- Flood Risk Management and Drainage Masterplan (this project)
Recognizing the need for an integrated and long-term solution to flooding in the City of Ibadan, the Oyo State Government has set up “The Ibadan Flood Management Project” (IUFMP) to improve the capacity of Oyo State to effectively manage flood risk in the city of Ibadan. This project is funded by the World Bank (WB) and is being executed with WB’s assistance through the Project Implementation Unit (PIU).
The Project Implementation Unit (PIU), acting as the Client, commissioned Dar (the Consultant) to prepare an Integrated Flood Risk Management and Drainage Masterplan for Ibadan City (the Project),covering the 11 local government areas which include the Ibadan Metropolis and the surrounding outlying areas.
Project Scope
This Masterplan therefore sets a process to mitigate the flood risks in the city today and over the next 20 years to 2040. The strategies and proposals put forward are intended to benefit all residents and visitors in Ibadan.
