This was revealed by the director-general of the NiMet, Professor Mansur Bako Matazu, at the handing-over of the lightning detection system by the Earth Network in Abuja on Wednesday.

The director-general, who said that NiMet staff will also be trained on the use of the equipment immediately, noted that the agency has received 10 AWOS, 10
Lightning detectors and their required accessories at no commercial value to it.

He said the donation of the equipment was a result of the memorandum of understanding earlier signed between Nigeria and Earth Metwork in 2021 for the provision of the equipment and system.

Explaining what the equipment means, the director-general said “Earth Networks developed a lightning detection and surface weather monitoring technology that detects a large portion of in-cloud (IC) and Cloud to Ground (CG) lightning.
