As the heatwave continues to bite, the Yobe State Ministry of Health and Human Services has advised residents to adopt measures to keep them safe.
Dr. Mohammed Lawan Gana, the Commissioner for Health in a statement on Friday explained that the high temperature and intensive heat could have an adverse effect on health.
He said the environmental temperature in Yobe State could rise to 45 degrees centigrade and above, especially within April and May before the onset of the rainy season.
“With the current weather situation, it is expected that the month of Ramadan for this year 1442 AH (2021 AD) will be during hot weather. Therefore it has become necessary to remind people about the effect of heat on their health”.
