Following the rising of water levels of the River Niger, the Anambra State Government has issued flood warning to Ndi Anambra. Flood prone Local Government Areas such Anambra East, Anambra West, Onitsha North, Onitsha South, Awka North, Ihiala and Ogbaru are advised to be alert.
According to a statement by the Director General, Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), Mr Umar Mohammed on Friday, floodwaters from countries in the River Niger system are gradually moving towards Nigeria, starting with Kebbi State.
The development is attributed to upstream activities in Niger Republic and Mali.
While assuring that dam operators at Kainji and Jebba, situated on the River Niger, have been informed and are on standby, the agency stated that the dams are not currently spilling water from their reservoirs as of August 22.
The risk of flooding is however, expected to peak by the end of August and into September.
Anambra communities along the River Niger system are therefore, advised to remain vigilant.
