The acting Director-General of the agency, Mr Mohammed Sabo, gave the admonition in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.

This followed the 2024 Seasonal Climate Prediction unveiled by the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) and the first rain experienced in FCT in the early hours of Thursday.

Sabo specifically appealed to FCT residents to clear blocked drainages and clogged gutters to ensure free flow of water throughout the rainy season.

He said that disasters could occur during the onset of the rains due to violent storms associated with the season, hence the call for caution.
