In an effort to raise awareness among younger people on climate change and its impact, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMet) says it is now essential to provide meteorological education to secondary school pupils.
The disclosure was made in Abuja yesterday during the World Meteorological Day celebration with the theme “At the Front Line of Climate Action,” by Prof. Charles Anosike, the agency’s director general.
He stated that, the agency’s role now encompasses more than just forecasting; it also involves educating the public, particularly the younger generation, about climate change and how to take proactive measures to combat it.
“Today, we have raised awareness in about four secondary schools which are Holy Family College Kuje, Anglican Girls/Grammar School Gudu, Government Science and Technical College Abaji, among others. Also, we are strongly advocating for the introduction of meteorology studies in our secondary schools.” he added.
