What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

More than 500 families residing along the shores of Lake Albert in Hoima District are on the verge of displacement due to rising water levels, mirroring the devastating floods of 2020 and 2021.

Residents of Fofo, Kijangi, Mbegu, Rwentali, Kaiso, and Kiryamboga landing sites in Buseruka and Kabaale sub-counties have been affected, with water levels rising since July and August.

"The situation is dire; floodwaters have already engulfed 30 homes," said Jena Ndahura, the defence secretary at Kijangi landing site.

Mr Swizin Tinkamanyire, 77, whose house is on the brink of submersion, expressed despair. "My permanent home was destroyed in 2020, and now I'm facing this calamity again. I have nowhere to relocate."
