Director General of the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), Umar Ibrahim Mohammed has called on the citizens living along the River Benue Basin to quickly move away from the river banks as increased water on the river Benue has reached the flooding level due to increased rainfall.
The DG said this in a statement signed on Thursday.
He also urged those along the River Niger to move to a safe location as the management of Kainji and Jebba Dams are working to control the floodwaters.
The NIHSA boss therefore urged Nigerians to cooperate with the Emergency Management Agencies and work together in order to collectively build resilience against flooding in Nigeria, and greatly minimize the aftermath effects of the floods.
