Nigeria has been hit by severe flooding in 2025 that has already claimed the lives of at least 500 people, caused widespread displacement, and submerged thousands of homes.
States including Niger, Rivers, Kwara, and others have experienced major destruction: roads and bridges washed away, croplands ruined, and communities cut off. Over 15 million Nigerians are considered at high risk as heavy rains continue and flood alerts rise.
The Mokwa flood in Niger State in May was among the worst, with over 4,000 homes destroyed, two bridges collapsed, and more than 500 confirmed dead.
Government agencies and humanitarian organizations are mobilizing relief efforts. Emergency shelters are being established, rescue operations deployed, and agricultural subsidies considered to mitigate food shortages. Experts are calling for long-term investments in drainage infrastructure, urban planning, and early warning systems to better prepare for future flood seasons.
