This study considered the major challenges that are peculiar to the Post Disaster Housing Reconstruction (PDHR) settings in the study area since each setting is confronted with different impediments. This was done through a self-administration of structured questionnaires to 257 flood victims directly or indirectly involved in the reconstruction projects. Findings indicated massive corruption, unethical conducts of professionals, and non-engagement of beneficiaries or communities during reconstruction. These indicators are potential threats to the realization of PDHR projects. Thus, offering communities the opportunity to meaningfully contribute in reconstruction affairs that is to shape their lives in terms of housing and livelihoods, will in no small level reduce challenges experienced in PDHR and deliver a more sustainable and resilient PDHR development where satisfaction and acceptability of the project will be evident.
