Nigerians Warned To Prepare For Heavy Rains And Excessive Flooding...

The Director General/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Prof Mansur Bako Matazu, on Monday, August 1, 2022 warned Nigerians to get prepared for heavy rains in the next two months.








Matazu, while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme said every Nigerian should expect flooding that may wreak havoc across the country in the next few weeks.

According to him, NiMeT had issued several warnings pertaining to flooding, and heavy downpours for Nigerians to take precautions, but unfortunately, many refused to take action against flooding.

He said Nigerians were in the habit of dumping refuse in drainage channels and cutting down trees, which are the main causes of flooding.

He said in the next two weeks, there will be increased rainfall saying that July, August, and September are the most active periods for flooding.

Matazu, while calling on people living in flood planes to evacuate immediately, said there is a global concern especially as it relates to climate change, stressing
the need for Nigerians to take weather forecasts seriously.

  4. It is only in Nigeria that you will see that the government are not doing things the right way and the citizens also will join them. We all know almost everywhere in Nigeria lack good drainages and the people won't stop dumping their refuses inside the floodwaters. What my eyes saw last week that rain met me inside the market ehn...

  9. A times i don't blame this people who throw their dirt in the gutter or canal..I blame the state government.When you have dirts and people in charge of waste don't come to pack them,where else will you put it?Like in my own area,PSP don't come at all.All we do is to bring the dirt outside and let sun shine on them to dry them,then we burn the dirts..We have been doing this for years now..That is what everyone in my area does..We burn waste..So government should really work on that..
