In its preparation to manage the imminent flood disaster in Nigeria, the federal government said it has deployed experts from the National Emergency
Management Agency , the Nigerian Meteorological Agency , and the Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency to all 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to cascade early warning messages to all the relevant end users at risk of flood disaster and associated hazards.
The early deployment, according to him, was to enable those concerned to make appropriate plans that can save lives, livelihoods, critical national assets, and the natural ecosystem. He added: “In 2022, Nigeria experienced the worst devastating flood in our national history, with more than four million people affected, over 2 million displaced, and a record death of 665 Nigerians. The flood also caused damage and destruction to about 355,986 houses and 944,989 hectares of farmland.”
