President Goodluck Jonathan has warned all relevant public officials to ensure a prevention of the massive flooding witnessed across Nigeria in 2012.

The president ordered heads of all federal government ministries, departments and agencies, MDAs, whose duties are related to flood prevention and control, to ensure that every necessary action is taken to prevent a recurrence of the floods which displace over a million people and lead to the death of dozens according to official statistics.

Mr. Jonathan said this while addressing ministers and other officials at a meeting he called at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday. The meeting was called to review ongoing flood containment measures.
