The Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has said states in the North-Central and South-Eastern zones should brace up for more of the disaster.

The Director-General of NiMet, Professor Mansur Bako Matazu, stated this on the sideline of the ongoing Hydro-meteorological status and outlook system in Abuja.

While speaking on the current flood impact across the country, Professor Matazu said though flooding as a result of rainfall may have reached its peak, flooding as a result of opening of dams and other water holding facilities would still affect States in North-Central and South-East.

At a separate event to address the disaster, the Federal Government summoned all relevant agencies to a meeting to tackle the widespread destruction being caused by floods across the country.

At the meeting, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sani Gwarzo reeled out the current flood disaster outlook, while assuring that the government is working hard to address the situation.
