Continuing, Abdulrahman said; “Internal audit of NiMet’s RTC Oshodi which took place from the 20th – 21st June 2024, against the ISO 29990:2010 standard ensures that the design, development, and delivery of the learning experience we provide at RTC meet the ISO requirements and the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) standards.
