SITUATION OVERVIEWOn May 29, 2025, Mokwa in Niger State, Nigeria, experienced one of the most catastrophic flash floods in the nation’s recent history. Triggered by intense overnight rainfall, the flood rapidly overwhelmed local infrastructure. The situation worsened when a nearby dam collapsed, amplifying the floodwaters and devastation across the region. The human impact was severe: 159 people were confirmed dead, 98 reported missing, and at least 11 hospitalised with various injuries. Approximately 3,018 residents were displaced, many seeking shelter with relatives, friends, or in host communities due to limited emergency housing. Infrastructure damage was extensive. The collapse of the Mokwa bridge and two others severely hindered access and emergency response. Two major roads were destroyed, isolating affected areas. Over 250 homes and businesses were lost, and the agricultural sector suffered heavily, with more than 10,000 hectares of farmland destroyed—affecting livelihoods across Niger and neighboring states. This disaster highlights the growing threat of extreme weather events linked to climate variability and underscores the urgent need for effective early warning systems, resilient infrastructure, and comprehensive disaster risk reduction strategies in Nigeria.
