Nigeria lost N4.2 trillion due to the 2022 floods which ravaged various parts of the country.

The flood in various parts of Nigeria led to an estimated economic loss of $9.12bn (N4.2tn as at Friday’s official exchange rate of N460.78/$), the Federal Government announced on Friday.

The federal government disclosed this on Friday during a post-disaster assessment report on the 2022 flooding by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.
