30 states prepare for heavy flooding after FG alert.
Nigeria is bracing for severe flooding expected to affect 1,249 communities across 30 states and the Federal Capital Territory between April and November.
State governments have begun implementing preventive measures, including public awareness campaigns, dredging water channels, and relocating vulnerable communities from riverbanks and floodplains.
The Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Prof Joseph Utsev, revealed these predictions during the unveiling of the 2025 Annual Flood Outlook by the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency in Abuja on Thursday.
