The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), has signed a historical Memorandum of Understanding with Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to beef-up safety and security on the Nigerian waters.

Speaking at the signing ceremony which took place at the NIMASA headquarters in Lagos on Monday, the Director General of NiMet, Prof. Mansur Matazu said the partnership with NIMASA is for the interest of Nigerians and Nigeria.

Prof. Matazu assured that NiMet will extend and standardise its services to the marine and maritime sector just as it entails in the aviation sector, bringing credibility to the nation’s indigenous skills, products and services.

In his remarks, the Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh, enjoined Nigerians to watch out, not only for daily forecast from NiMet, but a forecast for maritime safety and security through NiMet from NIMASA.

The signing of the MoU between NiMet and NIMASA is a milestone agreement that will ensure sustainable development in the maritime environment by providing various relevant meteorological tools and products.
