Starting with Tinubu government’s 8-point agenda for economic recovery; food security; poverty eradication; growth, job creation; access to capital; inclusion; rule of law; and fighting corruption, down to the performance bond the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, signed with Aviation Agencies Heads and their Directors in February 2024. Development of human capacity is a key deliverable in the performance bond. As a scientific agency, the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of NiMet, Professor Charles Anosike always ensures that both management and staff are aligned to these objectives”., Dr. Nasiru Sani concluded.
