WATCH THE VIDEO HERE At least 15 million Nigerians are at risk of flood disasters in 2025, Vice President Kashim Shettima has disclosed. He made the disclosure at the commencement of a one-day Validation Workshop on the Anticipatory Action Framework for Nigeria held at the National Counter Terrorism Centre in the Office of the National Security Adviser Abuja on Wednesday. The Vice President, however, said the Federal Government is taking a proactive approach as against a reactive approach to forestall the disaster. He emphasized the need for collaboration among all the agencies of government at the states and Federal Government level to tackle floods and other disasters in the country. Shettima decried that Nigeria loses 5 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to floods. However, he disclosed that President Bola Tinubu has approved the sum of N15 billion to be released for emergency responses. The Vice President, who also condemned the recent heinous attacks in Plateau state, expressed the sympathy of President Bola Tinubu to the affected families. He, however, advocated a non-kinetic approach to tackling the security challenges on the Plateau and North-East.
