The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) are set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening joint efforts to combat climate change. According to a statement from NiMet on Monday, the partnership is designed to support Nigeria’s socio-economic development by enhancing climate resilience strategies.

During a weekend meeting at the NGF office in Abuja, NiMet’s Director General, Professor Charles Anosike, emphasized that a formal collaboration with the NGF is vital for the country’s progress, stating that the initiative will deliver significant benefits to the Nigerian people.



“It’s no longer news that increasing weather events affect our communities. Every year we count losses of the number of our people that have been killed, families and communities displaced, and the economic damages.

“These extreme weather events also trigger human trafficking, disease outbreaks, and other negative impacts”, he said.

Continuing, Professor Anosike said that NiMet and NGF believe strongly that something should be done to mitigate the impact of climate change, and would sign a MoU to guide their relationship.
