The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has launched an internal transformation process with the introduction of the Balanced Scorecard Performance Management System.
This initiative aimed to enhance efficiency, accountability, and strategic alignment across the agency. At the kick-off meeting held at NiMet Headquarters in Abuja, the Director General/CEO, Prof. Charles Anosike, emphasised that staff welfare and capacity development remain top priorities for the management.
Anosike noted that the Balanced Scorecard is a global management tool that helps organisations translate strategy into performance. He highlighted the importance of intangible assets such as intellectual property, human resources, data, innovation, and brand reputation in today’s knowledge-driven economy.
The system will ensure proper alignment between strategy and objectives, enabling staff to clearly understand their roles and responsibilities in achieving the agency’s goals.
Founder/CEO of Balanced Scorecard West Africa, Mr. Kayode Sufianu,
commended NiMet for adopting a globally recognised performance framework. He stated that the Balanced Scorecard offers organisations a powerful structure for turning strategy into measurable outcomes.
Anosike emphasised that modern institutional value extends beyond financial records or physical assets, and that value creation now depends on people’s ideas, customer relationships, innovation, and a strong organisational culture.
The Director General urged staff to embrace performance management as a foundation for improving service delivery, adding that successful organisations distinguish themselves by how effectively they implement, execute, and sustain their goals.
This initiative demonstrates NiMet’s commitment to accountability, innovation, and improved public service.
