The Federal Government has warned that thirty-two locations across eleven States may experience heavy rainfall that may lead to flooding between 14th and 18th 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.
According to the notice, the affected States are Adamawa, Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba, Delta and Niger State.
Others are Kebbi, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, and Zamfara State.
The ministry cautioned that rising water levels in the River Gongola, River Benue, and River Niger pose additional risks, warning that communities situated on the floodplains are especially vulnerable.
The ministry also urged State governments and other agencies to provide prompt feedback and act quickly to mitigate the impact.
