Anambra State First Lady Nonye Soludo has called on residents to remain vigilant and adopt precautionary measures as flooding continues to affect parts of the state. She expressed particular concern for families living in areas vulnerable to flooding and urged communities to take the situation seriously.

Anambra State First Lady, Dr Nonye Soludo, has urged residents to take precautionary measures as flooding continues to affect some communities across the state. In a statement released in Awka on Wednesday, Soludo expressed concern about the developing flood situation and its possible effects on families. She said the risks were especially significant for people living in areas prone to flooding.

The statement did not identify the communities affected or provide details about the extent of the flooding. It also did not outline specific measures being taken by the state authorities in response to the situation. Soludo’s appeal focused on vigilance and precaution.

She urged residents to pay attention to the continuing conditions and act carefully, particularly those in locations exposed to flood risks. Her warning comes as flooding continues to affect parts of Anambra, although the statement supplied no information on casualties, property damage or displacement. Residents were nevertheless encouraged to treat the situation with caution and to take steps to protect their families.
