The Federal Government has raised an alert over potential flooding in 38 locations across 11 states, citing heavy rainfall expected between Wednesday, July 16, and Sunday, July 20, 2025.
The warning was issued by the Federal Ministry of Environment through the National Flood Early Warning Centre, a unit under the Erosion, Flood, and Coastal Zone Management Department. The notice was signed by the department’s Director, Usman Bokani.
As part of its flood disaster mitigation strategy, the government had earlier announced the introduction of a National Flood Insurance Policy to tackle the country’s increasing exposure to flood-related risks.
