NiMet receives delegates from Ignitia

As a follow-up to the recently signed MoU between NiMet and Ignitia, a delegation from Ignitia, led by Mr. Yen Choi, visited NiMet to initiate discussions on the implementation process.
In his opening remarks, the Director-General/CEO of NiMet, Prof. Charles Anosike, emphasized NiMet’s unique role as Nigeria’s sole legal provider and regulator of weather and climate information. He reassured the Ignitia team that, through this partnership, NiMet is prepared to grant access and licenses to trusted private-sector partners such as Ignitia.
Areas of partnership will include training on AI for weather predictions and advisories for decision support. This collaboration aims to enhance the accuracy of weather forecasts for Nigerian farmers, ultimately supporting improved agricultural productivity and climate resilience.
The teams agreed to establish a joint technical committee within the next month to develop a detailed roadmap for integrating AI-based weather prediction tools into NiMet’s advisory services. The forthcoming roadmap will outline the phases of implementation, set clear benchmarks for progress, and define how the impact of the partnership will be measured in the coming months.
