Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has warned the governments in 34 states of the federation to brace for flash floods in the next three days.
It said moderate and heavy rainfall that could trigger flash floods has started in some parts of the country, and may last for a day or two.
This agency issued the warning yesterday in a statement signed by its General Manager (Public Relations) Muntari Ibrahim in Abuja.
The states are: Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe, Kebbi, Niger, FCT, Plateau, Adamawa, Taraba, Kwara, Oyo, Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Anambra, Abia and Rivers.
Urging the states to sensitise residents, the agency warned that flash floods on roads, settlements, farmlands and bridges could cause road crashes.
Previous three-day forecast issued towards the end of July was 100 per cent accurate with disheartening tales of woes from the affected persons and communities, the agency said.
