Document Type: Magazine

It's one year since Prof. Charles Anosike was appointed as the substantive Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the
Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The announcement was made by the Presidency on the 13th of December 2023. Before the appointment, Prof. Anosike was serving as the Director of the Directorate of Applied Meteorological Services (DAMS), one of the key directorates and engine rooms in the agency.

With his insider knowledge and experience gathered during his almost 2-year stint as Director of DAMS at NiMet, Professor Anosike quickly settled in on the job. He didn’t need to learn the ropes, which is why the reforms he has introduced have started yielding instant results to the delight and admiration of staff and other stakeholders.
