The Federal Government has issued an alert placing Kano State among Nigerian states at high risk of flooding between July 16 and July 20, 2025.
The warning came through an official flood prediction notice released on Wednesday by the National Flood Early Warning Centre, a division of the Federal Ministry of Environment.
According to the detailed forecast, several local government areas in Kano State may experience intense rainfall that could trigger flooding incidents. The identified high-risk areas include Kunchi, Kano city, Gezawa, Wudil, Bebeji, Sumaila, and Tudun Wada.
The advisory specifically highlights these locations as particularly vulnerable to potential flood disasters during the specified period.
Usman Abdullahi Bokani, Director of the Erosion, Flood and Coastal Zone Management Department, emphasised the need for proactive measures to mitigate potential damage.
He called on all relevant stakeholders, including state government officials, emergency response agencies, and community leaders, to immediately implement precautionary measures. These include clearing drainage systems, preparing temporary shelters, and sensitising residents in flood-prone areas about safety measures.
The early warning notice forms part of the federal government’s efforts to minimise the annual loss of lives and property caused by flooding across Nigeria. Meteorological data indicates that the predicted heavy downpour could overwhelm existing drainage infrastructure in the identified areas, leading to possible flash floods.
Residents in the affected communities have been advised to remain vigilant, avoid building in water channels, and prepare emergency evacuation plans. The state government has been urged to activate its flood response protocols and collaborate with federal agencies to ensure prompt intervention if flooding occurs.
