The launch highlights NiMet’s strong performance under the Federal Government’s results-driven governance framework coordinated by the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU). The unit was institutionalised at the beginning of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and appointment of the Honourable minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development , to strengthen performance monitoring across Ministries, Departments and Agencies through a Presidential Performance Bond and results-based budgeting system.
During the event, the Managing Consultant/CEO of Balanced Scorecard West Africa (BSWA), Kayode Sufianu, commended NiMet for adopting the Balanced Scorecard as its strategic management framework.
He praised the DG/CEO’s leadership and support, noting that the commitment of the Senior Management and the Balanced Scorecard Champions Team was key to developing the strategy.
He explained that the framework helps organisations translate strategy into measurable results across four areas: stakeholders, financial stewardship, internal processes and organisational capacity.
The DG also unveiled NiMet’s refreshed core values under the acronym I‑PACE — Integrity, Professionalism, Accountability, Commitment and Excellence — which will guide the rollout and implementation of the new Strategic Plan.
