BREAKING: NiMet Issues Alert To The Following States On Deteriorating Visibility Due To Dust Haze (LIST)

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has issued a warning to the public about the likelihood of reduced visibility in certain northern states due to the spread of dust haze originating from the source region.

This advisory was conveyed in a statement released by Muntari Ibrahim, the General Manager of Public Affairs at NiMET, on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to NiMet, stations in the source region, including Chad (Faya-Largeau, Bol-Berim, Mongo, Abeche, and Ndjamena), have been reporting decreased horizontal visibility. This has been observed among other sources from Niger, which shares borders with northern Nigeria.

“Diffa, Maine-Soroa, Goure, Bila, Maradi, zinder and Birni-n- Konni have been reporting dust haze in poor visibility between 1000m and 3000 m since the last 24 hours.

”Due to strong winds, the dust in suspension is expected to propagate to some states in the northern part of the country, which will further reduce horizontal visibility.

”There are prospects of dust haze (in moderate to poor horizontal visibility) over the northern parts of the country , especially over Katsina , Kano, Nguru, Jigawa Potiskum and Maiduguri in the next 24 hours”, the statement said.

“Airline operators are also advised to avail themselves of weather reports from NiMet for effective planning in their operations.
