The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has alerted the public to the possibility of deterioration in visibility in some northern states as a result of dust haze propagated into the country from the source region.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr. Muntari Ibrahim, NiMET’s General Manager of Public Affairs, on Wednesday in Abuja.
NiMet said stations in the source region from Chad (Faya-Largeau, Bol-Berim, Mongo, Abeche, and Ndjamena) have been reporting horizontal visibility between other sources from Niger that share borders with northern Nigeria.
NiMet advised members of the public to take necessary precautions due to dust particles presently suspended in the atmosphere.
The agency advised individuals with respiratory ailments to protect themselves as the current weather condition is not good for their health.
