NiMet advanced technology aids in service delivery

A new website for the Nigerian Meteorological Agency has been launched as part of efforts to improve its services.

The technology is “More functional, interactive, dynamic and compares with websites of Met Offices in other parts of the world,” according to Charles Anosike, the director general of the agency.

Journalists were given access to a press release on Tuesday that revealed this.

“The new website which can be accessed through our nimet.gov.ng domain has been meticulously designed by our internal ICT staff from the ground up, with a primary focus of establishing a sustainable and scalable portal for the agency,” the statement read.

Anosike added that the unveiling of the new NiMet website, “is part of ongoing efforts by the new management of the agency to reposition the agency for improved and effective service delivery.

“This is in addition to other initiatives which are in line with the aviation sector roadmap of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development.”

According to Cyprian Okpalaku, Anosike’s Special Adviser on Information Communication Technology, with the new website, “members of the public can effortlessly request data and monitor the progress of their requests directly through the portal. “Also, the weather forecast widget has been revamped to enable partner agencies or organizations to easily integrate it into their own websites”.

Okpalaku began by outlining the user-centric aspects of the website, which included the design of the homepage for each component.

Through streamlining the consumption of content, this design improves browsing by allowing users to concentrate on a single area of the content at a time.

He also emphasized the strong security features of the website, such as the guarded back-office security matrix.

He continued by saying that the website has been improved with features like areas just for former directors general, a display of the Sustainable Development Goals, and a papers and archives part for quick access to pertinent content.

“The new NiMet website serves as a cornerstone for the modern portal structure, contributing to NiMet SmartNet, a system facilitating back-office and smart office operations management across the agency and its branches nationwide,” Okpalaku noted.
