Communities across seven Local Government Areas of Kaduna State at risk of flooding, especially those residing along waterways are at the risk of flooding and as a result, they are being advised to relocate to a safer, higher ground.
The Executive Secretary of Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency, Dr Usman Mazadu, gave the warning on Monday, in a statement obtained by PUNCH Online in Kaduna.
According to him, it was necessary to bring to the communities notice due to the torrential rainfall experienced between yesterday and today as well as still ongoing without abating.
He further explained that the torrential rainfall might result in the overflow of rivers, particularly those communities across LGAs that have rivers or tributaries crossing through, to be vigilant with keen interest.
“The Local Government Area communities include; Government Secondary school Abubakar Kigo Road and LEA primary school Unguwan Rimi in Kaduna North Local Government Area. Namadi Sambo Skill Acquisition Centre T/Wada Kaduna and LEA primary school Nassarawa in Kaduna South Local Government Area.
