Relocate From River Banks -NIHSA Warns Nigs

The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, NIHSA, has called on citizens living along the River Benue Basin to quickly relocate from the river banks as increased water from the river Benue has reached the flooding level due to increased rainfall.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Director General of the Agency, Umar Ibrahim Mohammed in Abuja.

The statement urges those along the River Niger to move to a safe location as the management of Kainji and Jebba Dams are working to control the floodwaters.

It however appeals to Nigerians to cooperate with the Emergency Management Agencies and work together in order to collectively build resilience against flooding in Nigeria, and greatly minimize the aftermath effects of the flood.
