Abstract

The work examined the implication of flooding on commercial activities in Aba North LGA. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the 100 respondents that returned their copies of questionnaire distributed to them. Remarkably, the respondents observed that issues of reduction of profit margin, sales, and cost of transportation were commensurable high as compared with other options raised. Recommendations were made, at least for the commercial operators to adopt both mitigation and adaptation strategies to cushion the impacts of flooding in the area.
