Poor maintenance, not poor engineering alone, is driving Accra’s flooding – Engineer
Petrochemical engineer and project manager Ing. Benedict Atta Poku has challenged the notion that engineers should bear the blame for Accra's recurring floods, arguing that the city's drainage problems are largely rooted in poor maintenance and weak infrastructure management after projects have been completed. Speaking during the fifth edition of the Loud and Green X Spaces discussion on flooding, Ing.
