The Nigerian Meteorological Agency has raised concerns over an impending dust haze that is expected to deteriorate visibility across the country in the coming days.
The agency raised this alarm in a statement, Wednesday night, signed by the General Manager, Muntari Yusuf Ibrahim, in Abuja. “Stations in the source region, Niger reported horizontal visibility between 800m and 6000m. The sources from Chad are expected to report poor horizontal visibility in the next 24hrs, based on available models” the alert reads.”
NiMet, therefore, advises members of the public to take necessary precautions due to dust particles presently in suspension over the atmosphere.
