The Federal Ministry of Environment has issued a flood alert for 11 states in Nigeria, as heavy rainfall and flooding are expected to occur from 13th to 17th September 2023.

The flood alert was issued by the National Flood Early Warning Systems (FEWS) Central Hub of the ministry which monitors the weather and water levels in the country.

According to FEWS, the states that are likely to witness heavy rainfall and flooding are Kano, Kebbi, Katsina, Niger, Kwara, Zamfara, Bauchi, Taraba, Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe. The following locations and their surroundings are particularly vulnerable to the flood risk:

Kano State: Sumaila, Kunchi

Kebbi State: Argungu

Katsina State: Bindawa, Jibia, Kaita, Katsina

Niger State: Kontagora, Mashegu, New Bussa

Kwara State: Kosubosu

Zamfara State: Kaura Namoda, Shinkafi

Bauchi State: Bajoga, Darazo, Kirfi, Azare, Jama ‘are., Itas, Misau

Taraba State: Beli, Donga,Lau, Serti, Mutum-Biyu, Yorro

Borno State: Briyel, Biu, Dikwa, Kukawa, Bama

Adamawa State: Ganye, Mubi, Demsa, Jimeta, Mayo Belwa, Numan, Shelling, Song

Yobe State: Dapchi, Gashua, Geidam, Kanamma, Machina, Potiskum

Gombe State: Nafada

Jigawa State: Dutse, Gumel, Gwaram, Miga

FEWS also warned that communities along River Benue and River Niger up to Bayelsa state should take precautionary measures as the water levels of these rivers are rising. The agency advised the public to follow the weather forecasts and alerts from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) and the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA).

The flood alert comes barely a week after NiMet predicted moderate rainfalls in 20 states and heavy rainfalls in parts of Kwara and Niger States within the next few days. Flooding is a recurrent phenomenon in Nigeria during the rainy season and often causes loss of lives and properties. The government and relevant agencies have been working to mitigate the impact of flooding and improve the resilience of affected communities.
