The World Meteorological Organisation Regional Training Centre (WMO RTC) Oshodi, Lagos established in 1957, is responsible for the Meteorological manpower training for NiMet.
“Over the years, the WMO RTC has been running and issuing only certificate courses because it has no national monitoring and accrediting body which is not good enough.
“To further fortify and expand the training horizon of the WMO RTC, we approached the Management of the NBTE, Kaduna, to express interest in running Diploma Programmes in; (1) ND Meteorology and (2) ND Climate Change Science.
“Gladly, NBTE has approved the advisory/resources inspection visit to the RTC Oshodi as a precursor to the running of the ND programmes at the RTC, Oshodi, Lagos”, he said.
