The average loss or damage on property caused by the flooding in flats is N157,655.25 while that of the<br />

duplex is N272,500.00. This could be explained by the fact that people staying in the duplex area are<br />

richer <strong>and</strong> have more valuable assets. The figures above indicate the economic impact of the flooding in<br />

the study area due to lack of green design. This is also adverse to environmental sustainability. The total<br />

cost of flood related damage on their asset is N338,248,755 (N240,345,000 for duplex houses <strong>and</strong><br />

N97,903,755 for flats).<br />
