The Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has published a list of states likely to face flooding in July.
In a flash flood risk alert issued on Monday in Abuja, the agency identified states with different levels of vulnerability to flash floods, citing the intensifying rainfall across the country as a contributing factor.
NiMet said Sokoto State has a high risk of experiencing flash floods. Other states with notable risk of flash flooding are Kaduna, Zamfara, Yobe, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Adamawa, Taraba, Niger, Nasarawa, Benue, Ogun, Ondo, Lagos, Delta, Edo, Cross River, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom.
The weatherman advised residents of the states to relocate, if necessary, clear drainage systems, prepare emergency kits, turn off electricity and gas during flooding, and strengthen mudslide prevention.
