The Nigerian Government warned 19 states and 56 communities are at risk of severe flooding due to heavy rainfall within the month.

This was disclosed by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), through its Lagos Territorial Coordinator, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye in a statement on Monday in Lagos.
