Overview
The Nigerian Meteorological Agency, NiMet, issued a nationwide weather alert, forecasting widespread thunderstorms and heavy rainfall across all regions of the country in the days ahead.
The weather advisory warned of possible flash flooding, disruptions to daily activities, and safety hazards associated with severe conditions.
In line with the warning, the Lagos State government has issued a flood alert to residents, particularly those in low-lying areas.
As a coastal city, Lagos is particularly vulnerable to flooding.
Heavy rainfall often leads to flooding in communities, particularly on the Island with attendant disasters including loss of lives, building collapse and health hazards, among others.
