The Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has issued a fresh alert, warning that several states across the country face significant risks of flooding this month.
The flash flood risk alert for July 2025, released on Monday in Abuja by the agency, identified states with varying levels of probable flash flood events due to ongoing rainfall.
According to NiMet, Sokoto State faces a high risk of flash flooding. Other states listed with notable flood risks include Kaduna, Zamfara, Yobe, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Adamawa, Taraba, Niger, Nasarawa, Benue, Ogun, Ondo, Lagos, Delta, Edo, Cross River, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom.
NiMet urged residents in these states to take necessary precautions, including relocating from flood-prone areas where necessary, clearing drainage systems, preparing emergency kits, turning off electricity and gas during floods, and implementing measures to prevent mudslides.
