The Director General of the Nigeria Meteorological Service Agency (NIMET) Professor Charles Anoske has pledged that the focus of the new management is to strengthen the operations of the agency and reposition it for improved service delivery.
The DG, while declaring open a three-day NiMet management retreat in Abuja, mentioned that overriding objective of the 2024 NiMet management retreat was to strengthen collaborative relationships amongst staff of the agency. It’s time to dismantle the imaginary walls and silos built internally over the years which has been stifling productivity.
He said: “The retreat will give us all a good understanding of the work NiMet does. T science of meteorology should be treated and handled with all seriousness because of its importance and impact on lives, properties and on the economy”.
Anosike urged the participants to be active during the retreat and make contributions that will help NiMet to achieve its mandate efficiently.
He said: “Despite prevailing economic challenges, there are opportunities in the external environment for NiMet. We should aim to reduce wastages in our operations, prioritize spending, and improve our internally generated revenue”.
He reminded the participants that although NiMet’s services are directly related to weather and climate in Nigeria, however, forces that drive environmental changes have shown that NiMet’s activities impact all aspects of the Nigerian economy”.
