CURRENT HARMATTAN WILL END SOON, says NIMET D.G

The current harmattan being experienced in many parts of the country will subside in the next one week, the Director General of  the Nigerian Meteorological Agency(NIMET), Dr Anthony Anuforom has assured.
He said the harmattan would not negatively affect flight operations as a result of improved navigational aids installed in the country.
According to him, a lot of positive improvement was going on at NIMET to ensure correct and verifiable meteorological services in the area of adequate facilities to operate within the internationally acceptable standards as obtained anywhere in the world.
The NIMET boss explained that the agency was working in conformity with stipulated international standards.
 Anuforom also disclosed  that two upper air stations would be installed in the country to bring to seven, operational upper air stations in the country to enhance accuracy.
 “We actually have seven of them but two are yet to be installed. Within this quarter we hope to increase it to seven upper air stations so the higher the density, the higher the accuracy. This is what this administration is doing in the spirit of transformation agenda”
