FLOOD ALERT

Following a forecast by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) identifying Anambra among states likely to experience above-normal flooding this year, the Anambra State Government has issued a flood alert and urged residents to take necessary precautions. Residents are advised to take NiMet’s predictions seriously, avoid unnecessary movement during heavy downpours, and take extra care in flood-prone areas. Those in vulnerable locations are encouraged to relocate where necessary and seek help promptly in the event of an emergency. The government says proactive measures are being taken to mitigate the impact of flooding and reiterates its call for public cooperation to protect lives and property throughout the rainy season.
