Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation Technology, Hon. Abiodun Akinlade, says it was ready to amend the law that established the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) to enhance its operations across the country.
Akinlade spoke in Abuja at a retreat organised by NIMET to intimate the members of the Committee on the workings and terminologies of the Agency and challenges facing it.
Akinlade asked the Director-General of NIMET to submit the necessary amendments to the NiMet Act, emphasising that the retreat would strengthen the synergy between the committee and the agency.
He expressed optimism that the collaboration between the House Committee and the agency would lead to improved legislative support to address key issues affecting NiMet.
Akinlade said, “This gathering today in effect provides a connection between the committee and NIMET in finding ways of building synergy towards engendering a seamless working relationship to address challenges that your agency may grapple with through legislative input.
