    NiMet, NIRSAL To Collaborate On Boosting Nigeria’s Agricultural Productivity

    The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), and the Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL Plc) have announced a collaboration on several projects to boost agricultural productivity in Nigeria.

    This followed a meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, 14th February, 2024, at NIRSAL Plc’s headquarters, between the Director General and Chief Executive Officer of NiMet, Professor Charles Anosike, and the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NIRSAL, Abbas Umar Masanawa.

    NiMet’s Prof Anosike said: “The urgency of climate action requires that critical stakeholders collaborate, invest in preparedness and ensure that smallholder farmers are protected by early warnings of climate disaster.

    “NiMet is keen on exploring opportunities for both NiMet and NIRSAL to partner in de-risking agriculture.

    “With the work that NiMet does and the data it generates on a daily basis, this will help farmers to plan effectively and efficiently.

    “Climate Change impacts greatly on farming activities and agricultural yield, hence the need for data-driven farming operations. This will help to de-risk the agricultural value chain”.

    NIRSAL’s Managing Director/CEO, Abbas Umar Masanawa, said that NiMet had done well over the years not only in the aviation sector but also in the other economic sectors including agriculture.

    “The DG/CEO of NiMet, Professor Charles Anosike and his team have been doing very well not only in aviation but in agriculture as well.

    “NIRSAL is interested in collaborating with them to support small holder farmers for increased productivity. This is in line with NIRSAL’s mandate”.

    Masanawa said that collaborating with NiMet was critical as the focus would be on increasing primary production.

    He said: “This will be beneficial to all as the farmers are the ones that are most vulnerable. We are also happy that NiMeT downscales its weather and climate data and information in different local Nigerian languages for wider reach and understanding”.

    “A technical committee will be set up for the benefit of Nigerians and small holder farmers, drawn from experts from NiMet and NIRSAL to operationalize quickly the various areas of interest including but not limited to training, data sharing, setting up weather stations etc”.
