 33 States, FCT At High Risk Of Flooding As NIHSA Releases 2026 Annual Flood Outlook


The Federal Government through the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has warned that 33 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) face a high risk of flooding during the 2026 rainy season, with 14,118 communities across 266 Local Government Areas (LGAs) identified as particularly vulnerable.


The high-risk states are: Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe, Zamfara, and the FCT (Abuja). 


Communities in 405 LGAs across 35 states (all except Ekiti) fall under moderate risk, while 923 communities in 77 LGAs across 24 states are at low or minimal risk.


Major urban centres particularly susceptible to flash or urban flooding  due to heavy rainfall, poor drainage systems, and infrastructure challenges  include Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna, Enugu, Calabar, Makurdi, Yola, and Abeokuta. Coastal and riverine flooding risks are especially pronounced in Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, and Ondo.


NIHSA described the outlook as an early warning tool to support preparedness rather than a definitive forecast of flooding in every listed area.


 Actual impacts will depend on rainfall patterns, land-use practices, and mitigation efforts.
