As part of efforts to strengthen climate resilience in agriculture, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) and IPE Global Limited, India, are exploring avenues for collaboration in the dissemination of agro-meteorological information to stakeholders in the agricultural value chain.

A delegation from IPE Global led by Mr. Raghmesh Ranjan visited NiMet headquarters on Thursday, 8th May 2025, to scope out potential collaboration on agricultural climate advisory services. Professor Charles Anosike, Director General and Chief Executive Officer, highlighted the critical mandate of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency in ensuring agricultural productivity dating back over 130 years in Nigeria.

He emphasized that integrating weather information into economic planning is imperative in the face of climate change.

‘Leveraging digital platforms to provide farmers with accurate and timely weather forecasts and advisories and scaling up access to early warnings will enhance decision-making and build resilience to climate change. We welcome the opportunity to partner with IPE Globa’l. Anosike said

Speaking, Mr. Rahjan iterated the importance of aligning with NiMet as the national authority on meteorology, particularly in relation to climate services that support agricultural productivity and food security.
