The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has warned of severe heat stress in 12 states and the federal capital territory (FCT).
In its weather outlook released on Monday, the agency said the rising temperatures and high humidity levels in the next three to four days may cause thermal discomfort across several regions in Nigeria.
The agency said the most affected states would include Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Kogi, Nasarawa, Benue, Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, and Cross River.
NiMet added that other vulnerable regions are Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Sokoto.
