Heavy rains, flash floods, and windstorms in Northern Nigeria on 20 September 2025 caused widespread destruction, isolating communities and submerging farmland. ACT Nigeria Forum classifies it as a medium-scale emergency across seven states in Niger State, with 163 deaths, 115 missing, and 121,224 displaced. An additional 339,658 people suffered losses, and 681 sustained injuries. Affected states include Adamawa, Taraba, Yobe, Borno, Gombe, and Jigawa, where rain is expected to continue.

The Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) will support people affected by the floods through cash assistance, WASH kits, and psychosocial support.
