It anticipated localised visibility of less than 1km over the northern parts all through the projected three-day period.
NiMET stated also that there would be slight dust haze over the North Central region with patches of cloud over parts Kogi, Benue and Kwara.
It predicted a cloudy atmosphere with spells of sunshine over inland states.
It stated that there could be isolated thunderstorms over parts of Ondo, Osun, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Lagos and Ogun during the afternoon and evening hours.
“On Friday, thick dust haze is anticipated over the northern parts,’’ NiMET added,
