Abuja residents this Heat Wave is real!

Stay hydrated at all times. Increase your water consumption and if you can, take multiple showers.

Have a damp towel handy especially when indoors in the evening. Make sure your kids and pets are also as cool as possible.
If you have a spray can, please fill it with water carry it around to spritz yourself on the go.
God bless you.
