The Kwara State Government is urging residents to pay attention to flood alerts and precautionary measures. The government has conducted public education programs on flooding and is taking steps to mitigate its impact by desilting drainages and water passages. Royal leaders are also encouraging people in flood-prone areas to relocate. The government is supporting these efforts and calling for the dredging of the River Niger as a long-term solution to flooding. The Nigeria Meteorological Agency has identified several local government areas in Kwara State as flood-prone and has predicted heavy rains and thunderstorms in the region.
