The Nigerian government has asked citizens to stay alert as the rainy season begins.
Flooding may occur in several parts of the country. On Thursday, the 2025 Annual Flood Outlook will be released to the public. It will show which areas are at high risk.
Umar Ibrahim Mohammed, who leads the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, gave this update in Abuja on Tuesday. He said the Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Professor Joseph Utsev, will present the forecast. The report will include likely flood patterns and regions that could be affected.
Mohammed explained that the goal is to help both leaders and citizens prepare. Flooding happens every year, and it causes damage to lives and property. The government wants early warnings to guide planning and reduce harm.
This year’s report highlights the need for communities to be ready. It encourages local efforts to reduce risks. The data is based on science and will help guide action in many areas.
As the forecast goes public, people in flood-prone places should stay informed. They are urged to take safety steps and be ready to act if needed.
