The dust, according to the agency will significantly reduce visibility values in extreme Northern parts of Nigeria, including Maiduguri, Kano, Katsina and Sokoto states.<\/p>\n

NIMET advised motorists and other road users to drive with caution due to the poor visibility.<\/p>\n

It also advised the general public, especially in the affected states to prevent dehydration and heat strokes by drinking water during the day and keeping warm at night when temperature is expected to be low.<\/p>\n
