The Federal Government, through the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency has advised Nigerians residing around river banks along the River Benue Basin to relocate to safer grounds.

This was made In a statement released on Thursday, October 17, by Umar Mohammed, warning that water on the River Benue has reached the flooding level due to increased rainfall.

He urged people living along the River Niger to move to a safe location as the management of Kainji and Jebba Dams are working to control the floodwaters.

I guess this is also one of the reasons why the government is so focused on fixing and creating better drainage systems all through the cities.
