The Presidency has issued an urgent public safety advisory, urging residents in flood-affected communities to remain vigilant and strictly comply with emergency directives as heavy rainfall continues to cause flooding in parts of the country.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page on Monday, 29 June, the Presidency advised residents in affected areas to remain indoors if they are already in a safe location and avoid unnecessary movement while the rains persist.

It also directed residents whose homes are being inundated by floodwaters to move immediately to higher ground and contact the national emergency number, 112, for assistance.

The advisory cautioned motorists against driving through flooded roads, specifically warning them to avoid routes including the Mallam–Kasoa Road, Alajo and Graphic Road, where flooding has been reported.

Drivers who encounter floodwaters were urged to turn around and use safer, elevated routes rather than attempting to cross flooded sections.

The Presidency further advised the public to unplug electrical appliances to reduce the risk of electrocution and stay away from electricity poles, transformers and fallen power lines, which could pose serious hazards during the flooding.

Emphasising the importance of public safety, the statement urged residents to remain alert, follow official updates and comply with all emergency directives as authorities continue to monitor the evolving weather situation.

"Your safety is paramount," the Presidency stated, urging the public to prioritise their well-being until conditions improve.
