The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) issued a 2023 rainfall prediction, warning of an impending flood in parts of Nigeria. Additionally, the authorities of the major dams on the two rivers, particularly the Lagdo Dam, have issued statements regarding the release of excess water from the dams.

Findings by the Centre for Flood Monitoring and Management at the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) indicate a gradual rise in the water level (approximately 8.54 meters as of August 29, 2023), implying an increase of about 0.003 meters per hour.

Given these circumstances and the potential for a spill from the Kainji Dam, it has become crucial to inform people residing in flood-prone areas that the rising water levels due to heavy rainfall pose a serious danger to their lives and properties.

The Centre appeals to all those living in lower areas to relocate to higher ground immediately. Precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of lives and properties for everyone.

The University Management, through its Centre for Flood Monitoring and Management, is providing information on how each of us can contribute to flood preparedness...
