Excessive borehole drilling threatens urban infrastructure – UniUyo Don
A Regional Planning and Analysis expert, Prof. Jacob Atser, has warned that the uncontrolled drilling of boreholes in urban areas poses serious environmental and infrastructural risks, calling for the adoption of a centralised water supply system in Nigerian cities.
Prof. Atser gave the warning at the weekend while delivering the 125th inaugural lecture of the University of Uyo (UniUyo), where he spoke on the topic “Social Planning in Regional Context: Paradoxical Realities in Nigeria.”b
