Seasonal flooding is not uncommon in Nigeria, but this year has been the worst for a decade. At least 27 out of the 36 states have been affected. More than 600 people have died and more than a million have been displaced. There are now fears that the disaster could impact food security at a time when the country is already going through a cost of living crisis. #Africa Daily
