warned that there will be severe weather and heavy rainfall in
Lagos tomorrow Tuesday June 18th.
NEMA spokesperson, Ibrahim Farinloye, said the early warning is
based on alerts received from the African Centre of Meterological
Applications for Development based in Niamey, Niger Republic.
He said:
"In Nigeria, Lagos and its environs are expected to
experience torrential rainfall from about 50 mm 24h:
Confidence medium means that all stakeholders must be
prepared to take all precautionary steps against leaving the
warning unattended.
"On this premise, NEMA is passionately imploring all
segments of Nigerian society in the southern part of
Nigeria to steps against exposing themselves to the
dangers at hand,"
"Those living in the flood plains should relocate to higher
(areas) when they are experiencing heavy accumulation of
flood water
"NEMA is also using this medium to warn parents sending
their wards on any errands while the rain is falling as well
as stop dumping of refuse on the drain," the statement
said.
