20 States To Experience Flooding Unveiled (FULL LIST)

News Update

THE Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has warned that 20 states across the country may face flash floods in July due to continued rainfall.

The agency released the alert on Monday, warning that the heavy downpours expected this month could lead to flooding in some areas.

NiMet advised residents in these areas to take safety steps ahead of any potential flooding.

People were urged to clean their gutters, switch off power sources when flooding occurs, keep emergency supplies close, and move away from danger zones if necessary.

The agency also encouraged actions that could help reduce the chances of mudslides.

The alert comes as Nigeria enters a season marked by heavier rainfall, increasing the risk of flood-related damage and displacement in vulnerable communities.

The 20 states at risk of flash flooding this July, according to NiMet, are Sokoto, Kaduna, Zamfara, Yobe, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Adamawa, Taraba, Niger, Nasarawa, Benue, Ogun, Ondo, Lagos, Delta, Edo, Cross River, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom.
