The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has begun implementing a balanced scorecard performance management system, a strategic approach designed to enhance institutional efficiency, accountability, and alignment with national development objectives.
The initiative was announced during a kickoff meeting held on Tuesday at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja, attended by directors and senior management personnel.
Opening the session, NiMet’s Director General/CEO, Prof. Charles Anosike, stated that the adoption of the balanced scorecard signifies a new phase in the agency’s internal transformation.
He reiterated the management’s dedication to staff welfare and capacity building, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the performance agreement established with the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo.
“We are embarking on a new journey at NiMet as we prepare to implement a balanced scorecard performance management system.
“This is a globally recognized management tool that organizations use to translate strategy into performance,” Prof. Anosike explained.

“This meeting will aid us in refining our strategy formulation and fostering enduring creativity within the agency.”
He emphasized the increasing significance of intangible assets, such as human resources, innovation, intellectual property, and data, in today’s knowledge-driven economy.
He noted that the balanced scorecard will help NiMet align its strategy with individual objectives, providing staff with a clearer understanding of their roles in fulfilling the agency’s mission.
Guest speaker, Founder/CEO of Balanced Scorecard West Africa, Mr. Kayode Sufianu praised NiMet for taking a significant step toward institutionalizing a globally recognized performance framework.
He described the balanced scorecard as “a powerful structure for converting strategy into measurable results,” adding that NiMet’s adoption demonstrates strong leadership commitment to accountability, innovation, and enhanced public service.
Prof. Anosike pointed out that the value of modern institutions is no longer solely determined by financial or physical assets.
Instead, he stated that true value now resides in people’s ideas, customer relationships, innovation, and a robust organizational culture.
He characterized the session as a foundational step toward a challenging yet rewarding transformation journey and encouraged staff to fully embrace the performance management system.
“While strategy establishes the direction, successful organizations differentiate themselves by how effectively they implement, execute, and sustain their objectives,” he concluded.
