ABUJA TREMOR POSES NO THREAT, SAYS NGSA

The Nigerian Geological Survey Agency has assured residents that a recent earth tremor recorded in Abuja poses no immediate threat to lives or property.

The agency said it was monitoring the situation and assessing seismic activity in the affected area to better understand the cause and nature of the tremor.

The assurance comes after residents reported feeling the ground shake, raising concerns about the possibility of a stronger earthquake.

The NGSA urged members of the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information about the incident.

Officials said Nigeria experiences occasional minor seismic activities, and the occurrence of a tremor does not automatically indicate that a major earthquake is imminent.

The agency said its monitoring systems would continue to track developments and provide relevant updates if necessary.

Geological experts stressed the importance of strengthening seismic monitoring across the country to improve early detection and public awareness.

They also encouraged residents to rely on information from recognised authorities rather than unverified reports on social media.

The NGSA reaffirmed its commitment to monitoring geological activities and providing timely information to support public safety.

Residents were advised to remain vigilant while following official guidance as monitoring of the Abuja tremor continues.
