The Federal Government on Sunday warned that 32 locations across 11 states may experience heavy rainfall that may lead to flooding between 14 and 18 September 2025.
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 also urged state governments and other agencies to provide prompt feedback and act quickly to mitigate the impact.
This warning comes just days after torrential rainfall in Zaria, Kaduna State, displaced over 470 children and destroyed no fewer than 270 homes across several communities.
