    The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) on Friday, 24th January 2025, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nigeria’s leading telecommunication services provider MTN, and advanced weather intelligence company, Tomorrow.io, to develop a Digital Climate Advisory Services (DCAS) System aimed at delivering location-specific, actionable weather advisories to Nigerian farmers via mobile SMS.

    The MoU was signed at the NiMet Headquarters in Abuja.

    The partnership which is in line with the United Nations (UN) goal of ensuring early warning systems for all would serve the need of strengthening climate resilience in Nigeria, particularly in the agricultural sector.

    The Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Professor Charles Anosike said that the overall aim of the partnership was to improve agricultural productivity and resilience by providing localized, timely weather advisories.

    Under the terms of the MoU, the parties shall collaborate in the development, deployment, and testing of the DCAS platform, which will provide weather-based advisories to farmers through SMS notifications.

    Prof Anosike said: “This aligns with the food security agenda of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu government”.

    Anosike said that the choice of MTN and Tomorrow.io was strategic as they were leaders in their respective sectors.

    He said: “I am excited welcoming the MTN CEO, Karl Toriola, the officials Shoyinka Shodunke (Chief Information Officer),Tobechukwu Okigbo (Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer), and the Tomorrow.io team to NiMet for this groundbreaking MoU signing that will impact not only the agricultural sector but the entire Nigerian economy.

    “My primary objective has been to open up the space of the business of climate science to the private sector so that they will begin to understand the incredible impact of climate science”.

    The Chief Executive Officer of MTN, Karl Toriola said that MTN was always looking for ways to support government agencies and the Nigerian public in general.

    Toriola said: “I am optimistic about what this partnership with NiMet and Tomorrow.io will do for the agricultural sector, emergency and disaster management, the public and the Nigerian economy as a whole.

    “From the bottom of our hearts we are grateful to NiMet for allowing MTN to partner with it”.

    The Managing Director of Tomorrow.io, Dr. Henry Onyemachi thanked the DG/CEO of NiMet, Prof. Charles Anosike for his strong leadership directing the process leading to the signing of the MoU.

    Onyemachi said: “For us at Tomorrow.io, it’s a very happy moment for us reflecting on the progressive and very focused journey which began a year ago.

    “This is a very impactful project that we are embarking on which touches on the food security that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been harping on”.
