The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) is strengthening ties with Adamawa State University (ADSU), Mubi, to improve early warning systems and climate resilience across Adamawa State.

The renewed collaboration was highlighted during a courtesy visit by ADSU’s vice-chancellor, Prof. Augustine Clement to NiMet headquarters in Abuja. The director-general of NiMet, Prof. Charles Anosike emphasised the strategic importance of the university’s location – within an agrarian region and near key hydrological infrastructure like the Kiri Dam – as ideal for expanding climate monitoring and research.

“Adamawa State University’s position presents an opportunity for collaboration in meteorological observation, seasonal climate prediction and capacity-building,” Anosike said. “We are ready to support the university in setting up a functional weather station, initiating academic exchanges and conducting joint research to enhance disaster preparedness and sustainable development.”

He added that a formal memorandum of understanding (MoU) would outline mutual responsibilities, including data generation, transmission and station maintenance. He urged the university to involve its surrounding communities to maximise the impact of the partnership.

Clement expressed appreciation for NiMet’s contributions to national development and reiterated ADSU’s commitment to climate-focused research. He underscored the need for practical, science-based solutions to environmental challenges facing flood-prone communities in the state.

The partnership aims to bridge knowledge gaps, empower local stakeholders and build climate-resilient systems in one of Nigeria’s most environmentally vulnerable regions.
