The Federal Government on Wednesday in Abuja said that it would invest more in meteorological services for accurate, timely and reliable weather prediction.
Prof. Mansur Matazu, Director-General, Nigerian Metrological Agency (NiMet), said this at the 2022 World Meteorological Day, organised by the Agency.
According to him, such efforts will reposition NiMet and its products and services to further influence society positively.
Matazu said that the agency had decided to improve on infrastructure and creatively disseminate weather forecast to as many Nigerians as possible.
He said: NiMet is the organisation saddled with the responsibility of advising the government and people of Nigeria on every aspect of meteorology, including the socio-economic impacts of climate and weather.
That is why we join the rest of the world to celebrate this years atmosphere and our role in protecting it.
This day connects NiMet with sister agencies across the globe by bringing to fore activities of agencies like ours and the WMO that coordinates all activities among the Members States, he said. (NAN
