The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted that heavy rainfall is expected in parts of Cross River, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger and the FCT in the next three days.
NiMet, in its weather outlook on Wednesday, said there are chances of moderate to heavy rainfall over parts of Benue, Ekiti, Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, and Taraba states from Thursday to Saturday.
While most parts of the north are expected to experience light rainfall.
“As a result of the expected moderate to heavy rainfall in the next three days, there are chances of flash flooding of roads and low-lying settlements.
“The rains should be accompanied by strong winds, especially over the northern states, hence displacement and falling of weak buildings and makeshift structures are likely. Thus, the public is advised to exercise restraint,” NiMet said.
NiMet urged emergency agencies to be prepared and keep monitoring to avoid low-level areas and fast-flowing runoff waters.
