The opening of the Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam has led the Federal Government to warn of intense flooding will be experienced in some states in the next seven days, reports ITREALMS.
The minister assured Nigerians that shelters will be provided to residents in flood-prone states.
ITREALMS recalled that the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was alerted over impending flooding along the River Benue Basin.
In the alert, the Cameroonian Government had planned to “open the flood gates of the Lagdo Dam on the Benue River in days ahead."
