There is an observable increase in the frequency of floods in recent times and the appalling nature of destruction emanating from floods on housing has become a global concern and is putting stakeholders on the quest to develop a strategy that will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of post-disaster undertakings. Housing reconstruction, which is supposed to give succour to the disaster-affected people often fail due to some issues. This paper, which is a part of an ongoing study considered the major issues that are peculiar to the post-disaster housing reconstruction 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 during reconstruction. Therefore, offering beneficiaries the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to reconstruction affairs that are to shape their lives in terms of housing and livelihoods, will in no small level minimise problems experienced in PDHR projects. This is expected to deliver a more sustainable and resilient PDHR development where satisfaction and acceptability of the project will be evident, and the donor will have value for his money.
