The Federal Government yesterday in Abuja launched a smart phone application, “Wetin App”, for flood forecasting along the Niger and Benue rivers.

The application, which is available on Google app store, is a collaborative project of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI).

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Shehu Ahmed, said Nigeria sought the help of the international agency to develop the application following the devastating flood of 2012 which led to huge destruction of farms, houses and human lives.
