BREAKING NEWS!!!!..Prepare for Another Flood.

The National Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday warned
the people of the South West to take seriously the recent
prediction by the Nigeria Meteorological Agency regarding
excessive rainfall in the zone this year.
The NEMA Zonal Coordinator (South West), Mr. Iyiola Akande,
said this in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital during a "Workshop
on 2013 Flood Prevention, Mitigation and Preparedness
Awareness Programme" organised to address the peculiarity of
the NIMET’s seasonal prediction of 2013 as it affects the
Southwest states.
Akande stressed that the people of the South West zone should
not treat the NIMET prediction with levity.
He noted that although the prediction was worrisome, NEMA
would do everything possible to reduce, control and manage
effects of the NIMET prediction.
NIMET had recently predicted that the Southwest would this year
witness perennial rainfall which might have negative effect not
only on agricultural yields in the zone, but also affect the health
of the people of the area.
