The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

the year’s rainy season intensifies, the effects are being felt globally. As seen in China to Germany and parts of the United States, deadly downpours pounded cities everywhere, submerging vehicles, homes and killing hundreds in a manifestation of the palpable warning for urgent action to shield the planet against severe heat dome and atmospheric pressure.

The incident, dubbed in many places as the worst flooding in decades, also gripped Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. In 2009, 2011 and 2013, Saudi Arabia was ravaged by flash floods, which left people dead and swept through hitherto fortified dwellings. The concerned authorities in Nigeria should concentrate their energies on coastal and inland areas in the country, particularly flood-prone areas, by using modern flood control techniques to combat flooding, which may not recede anytime soon. Both past and recent reports on flood disasters in Kano, Taraba and Lagos among some other states left a sour taste in mouth. This is the reason why both the state and federal governments must join forces to see flooding as a national emergency.
