The agency advised village and district heads as well as religious leaders, especially those at community levels, to begin the preparations in order to mitigate the effect of the flood.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Head of NEMA Operation in Minna, Zainab Suleiman-Sa’idu, which was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Monday.
She said that the alert became necessary following the Annual Flood Outlook (AFO) released by the Nigeria Hydrological Service Agency (NIHSA) and the 2023 seasonal climate prediction by the Nigeria Metrological Agency (NiMET).
