Flood refers to an excessive outflow or inflow of water, especially across the normally dry ground (occasionally referred to as a natural calamity). Recently, several outbreaks of flood have been reported in several cities in Nigeria. In recent months, the number of people affected by widespread flooding across Nigeria has risen to over ۳.۲ million out of ۵ million people in Africa, with over ۶۰۰ fatalities. Flood events in recent years resulted in the loss of life and huge damages to human welfare, requiring urgent reaction. We aim to look at the public health impacts of flooding in Nigeria and provide an everlasting solution to the associated challenges. We center our investigations mostly on recent flooding in Nigeria with the different assumptions surrounding it.
