Federal Government Warns of Possible Flooding in 32 Locations Across 11 States

The Federal Government has warned that thirty-two locations across eleven States may experience heavy rainfall that may lead to flooding between fourteenth and eighteenth September, two thousand and twenty-five.

The flood prediction, issued by the Federal Ministry of Environment’s National Flood Early Warning Centre, was signed by the Director, Erosion, Flood and Coastal Zone Management Department, Usman Bokani.

The ministry cautioned that rising water levels in the River Gongola, River Benue, and River Niger pose additional risks, warning that communities situated on the floodplains are especially vulnerable, thereby urging State governments and other agencies to provide prompt feedback and act quickly to mitigate the impact.
