Nigeria is taking charge! 🇳🇬🌊 The water levels in the mighty River Niger are under control as part of proactive measures to prevent potential floods, according to local authorities on Tuesday.
Umar Mohammed, the head honcho at the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), shared that water levels in the River Niger Basin have been gradually receding since early this month. 🌧️💧 That's some good news, right?
He noted that the Jebba Dam is currently spilling excess water in sync with the operators of the Kainji Dam. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🤝
\"The Kainji Dam has maintained a 53-centimeter buffer to manage any changes in water inflow,\" Mohammed explained. These steps are all part of Nigeria's flood preparedness protocols. Safety first! 🚧
Even though the rainy season is moving southward, water is still flowing into Nigeria, and NIHSA is keeping a close eye on it. 👀
Mohammed assured that the hydrological agency will continue collaborating with both national and international dam authorities to mitigate river flooding and support Nigeria's socio-economic growth. Let's keep those positive vibes flowing! 🌟
