The Nigerian Meteorological Agency has issued a flood alert for the month of July, warning that states including Sokoto, Lagos, Edo, Benue, and 16 others are at risk of experiencing flash floods. This came as the Africa Environmental Health Organisation, climate change adaptation researchers, and members of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners, among others, lambasted state governments following the recent devastating floods that ravaged several states, calling for an intense scrutiny over the management of ecological funds allocated to affected regions.
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, yesterday, accused the Presidency of plotting to destabilise the growing opposition coalition, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The consequences of poor infrastructure on building a competitive industrial sector weigh heavily on the prospect of leveraging a tumbling dollar and the broader United States economy to strengthen the value of the naira.
