In a statement issued from the office of the Kogi State Deputy Governor and signed by Abu Micheal, the Chief Press Secretary, said though the annual rainfall prediction for the year in the state would be moderate and normal, the state he noted may be flooded if the drainage are blocked.
The state the statement disclosed would experience late onset and late cessation of rainfall in the state, added that most part of the state would experience high temperature.
