Hydrological Services Agency Issues Flood Alert

The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has issued a flood alert to communities on the shores of River Niger and River Benue.

In a statement signed by the Director General of the Agency, Dr Moses Beckley, the agency said that communities in‎ Niger, Anambra, Taraba, Nasarawa, Kebbi, Sokoto, Adamawa, Kogi and Benue States will experience flood due to the latest release of water from the Lagdo and Kainji dams.

The agency advised the affected communities to relocate to avoid the 2012 incident, where lives and properties were destroyed by flood.
