Makoko, a community known for its resilience and rich culture, is currently facing serious challenges as daily crises arise from ongoing demolition and reconstruction projects in the area. These developments have left many residents uncertain about their future and safety.

Residents have raised loud cries for help after losing their homes and sources of livelihood. Many families are now homeless and helpless, with little support available.

 According to the residents, government assistance has been inadequate. “We do not need only government palliatives,” one resident said. “Shelter and clothing are urgently needed.” The people of Makoko continue to call for immediate and meaningful intervention to restore hope and stability to the community.
