The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) is scheduled to unveil its 2025 Annual Flood Outlook (AFO) on Thursday, April 10, 2025. The public presentation will take place at the Ladi Kwali Hall of the Abuja Continental Hotel, with the Honourable Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Engr. Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev, performing the official unveiling.
The 2025 AFO, themed “Flood Resilience: Focusing on Communities Preparedness and Adaptive Strategies for Flood Management,” aims to enhance national preparedness against flooding by providing:
-
Detailed projections of vulnerable communities and expected flooding timelines.
-
Identification of flood-prone areas with anticipated severity and duration.
-
Assessment of critical infrastructure likely to be impacted.
-
Risk communication and adaptation strategies for stakeholders at all levels.
This comprehensive outlook serves as a crucial tool for federal and state institutions, humanitarian organizations, and local communities to proactively plan and respond to potential flood risks.
The launch event is expected to bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including representatives from government agencies, international development partners, NGOs, academia, civil society organizations, the media, and concerned members of the public. Their participation will underscore the importance of the AFO and promote collective action toward achieving a flood-resilient Nigeria.
