Observations from the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) have shown an increase in the volume of water flow along the River Benue downstream. It was noted that the flow level at NIHSA's gauging station in Makurdi, Benue State was at 8.97 meters as of August 25, 2023, compared to 8.80 meters on the same date in 2022. SaharaReporters reported on Sunday that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for East and Central African Division had alerted the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to an impending flooding along the River Benue basin.
Adamawa, Taraba and some other Nigerian states have been identified as the first point of contact when the volume of water from downstream River Benue increases. Authorities in Cameroon have alerted the Nigerian government that they would open Lagdo Dam to release water, which will put some Nigerian states at risk of being flooded.
