According to the Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Joseph Utsev, following two flood-related deaths in Abuja in July 2024, the rains have persisted, causing property and business disruption in the midst of a crippling economy where rising food costs are making matters worse for Nigerians. As the rain increased on Thursday, 4 July 2024, the Federal Government reported that 10 states as well as the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, had either experienced varying degrees of flooding or had reported casualties.
