The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency
(NIHSA) has warned states that there will
be more flooding expected during the rainy season.

The warning was directed to 15 states
namely Niger, Lagos, Edo, Imo, Abia, Jigawa, Adamawa, Delta, Rivers, Cross Rivers, Oyo, Enugu, Kebbi, Nasarawa, Bauchi and the Federal Capital territory.

Speaking during a press briefing yesterday in Abuja, Director- General of the agency, Engr. Clement Nze said there is high probability that more states would still be affected by both river flooding and urban flooding.

He said this was because flood from the
upper reaches of the Niger Basin which are
Guinea, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote
d’Ivorie, Benin, Chad and Cameroon would
be arriving Nigeria in about a month’s time.

Nze noted that the agency has been closely
monitoring the many flooding incidents
taking place across the country as it has
caused the loss of lives and properties
hence it was unfortunate that the flooding
incidents were manifesting just as predicted by NIHSA.


He lamented that the relevant stakeholders, individuals and state governments have failed to heed the warnings issued before the of flooding in the country.

He aid the agency was concerned about the non-adherence to flooding predictions for 2019, thereby resulting in avoidable flooding incidents that has affected the economy negatively.

Nze called for the need to put more drainage systems, avoid building houses in areas that will block the flow of water and provision of dams to control flood to comes into the country when other neighbouring country releases their dams.

He said the flood might translate to disaster if there are no facilities to manage it.

They warned them early ooo, yet most of the governors wont do anything to avert the disaster.


Na so one northern governor said the collapse of a bridge was an act of God...

They warn them, FG gave money to BENUE STATE in 2008 and 2014 to dredge river Benue and construct a lasting drainage system but nothing was done. The money went down to God knows where. The rain started around 11 pm yesterday and it is still raining, MAKURDI is a no go area because of flood.

Last year, along East west road some communities in Delta state were practically living on a section of the high way, their houses turned swimming pool for their children to play. May God help us.

After many people and houses have been swept off by flood in Imo State.

To before warned is to before armed.

Dredging that river would be the best thing that will happen to Benue

Devil Representatives are leading the country.
They won't hear nor act.

A whole Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

This istration is a debacle each day. I would advise the president to change the people around him and work with talented, intelligent and optimistic professors and not some men in Agbada with vacant brain.


The people around you tell your performance.
Work with the good guys, you become good.
Work with the bad guys, you become bad.

Thank God there will be food in Abuja, foreign Fulani terrorist can retreats their terrorism and cows to Abuja for there will be enough water flows and Abuja's grass this season.



As this flood coming so shall it expose Nigerian politicians and enemies of freedom.

Red alert with no long lasting solution. Awon werey
