Dr. Nasiru Sani who represented Prof. Anosike at the event flanked by the Institute’s officials after receiving the Award on behalf of the DG
The latest recognition came on Thursday, July 23, 2026 by the Institute of Strategic Management of Nigeria (Chartered) which conferred Life Membership on the NiMet DG during their Annual Conference/General Meeting in Ikeja, Lagos. The Theme of the 2-day event was- “Igniting Africa’s Renaissance: Strategic Leadership, Innovation and Enterprise for Sustainable Growth.”
In his remark, Mr. Alex Ndudi Enebeli, President/Chairman-In-Council of the Institute, said Prof. Anosike was conferred with the prestigious elite award in recognition of his distinguished leadership, and contribution to institutional and professional development.
He praised Anosike for the ongoing transformation in NiMet, saying it was a privilege for the Institute to be associated with a trailblazer that is fast becoming a leading name in leadership across the country and globally due to the commitment with which he said Anosike carries out the mandate of the agency, while at the same time thanking him for supporting the institute.
Enebeli particularly acknowledged the commitment of Prof. Anosike to training and retraining of thousands of NiMet staff, saying that several management and middle cadre workers of the agency have undergone strategic management training organized by the Institute and have therefore become chattered members.
Responding, Dr. Nasiru Sani, Director, Human Resources Management and Administration, who represented Prof. Anosike at the event, thanked the Institute for the recognition, saying the gesture was more of a challenge for him to serve the nation better.
Appointed by President Bola Tinubu in December 2026, Anosike has, in just two years and six months, transformed NiMet into a digital giant, leading to enhancement of climate and weather services as well as advancement in early warning systems, thereby repositioning the agency as a strategic institution for national Development.
Leading a team of management staffers made up of mainly topnotch professionals and meteorology experts, alongside a committed, dedicated and patriotic workforce, Anosike has taken NiMet out of relative obscurity, to become one of best performing federal government agencies in Nigeria. The agency is now a household name in the country while at the same time, receiving accolades and laurels from several international publics and stakeholders, especially organizations that are concerned with weather and climate related matters.
These achievements are coming, in addition to unprecedented welfare initiatives of the current management for staff of the agency, who hitherto, were denied training opportunities and other benefits.
For example, the federal government has in the past four months, approved three key welfare packages for the workers, following. The approvals came after due requests by Anosike’s management and support by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Barrister Festus Keyamo, SAN.
The approvals include the Reviewed Scheme of Service, described as a landmark and progressive move that would further amplify momentum to the ongoing rebirth and secure fair wages, with the overall aim of empowering Nigeria achieve its target on climate and weather; the Unified Salary Structure which was approved alongside an Updated Condition of Service that took effect June 1st marking a formal adjustment to the remuneration framework for the agency’s personnel.
Prof. Anosike’s management has prioritized strengthening early warning systems to help Nigerians adapt to a changing climate. The agency actively works with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and other partners to improve the communication of climate information to the public.
The agency has also been playing crucial role in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing essential data to combat desertification and restore land affected by drought, thereby establishing itself as an organization with clear understanding that its responsibilities go beyond daily weather reports, but include long-term climate and environmental protection.
The David Mark-led faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has approached the Court of Appeal to challenge the Federal High Court judgement that removed its leadership.
The opposition party also disclosed that it had filed an application seeking a stay of execution of the judgement pending the hearing and determination of its appeal.
The party made this known in a statement on Friday, November 6, adding that it had formally notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the legal steps taken,
The appeal is against the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court in Abuja on November 5, 2026, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1619/2025, involving Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe and the ADC.
The party urged INEC to refrain from taking any further action on the matter until the Court of Appeal has considered the case.
It argued that the application for a stay of execution was yet to be decided and that the electoral commission should not take any step that could affect the outcome of the appeal.
According to the ADC, it expects INEC to respect the ongoing legal process and allow the appellate court to hear the matter before making any decision connected to the judgement.
The statement partly read, “The ADC is exercising its lawful right to appeal. The judgement is now being challenged before a higher court, and the legal process must be allowed to run its course.
“We expect INEC to uphold the law and take full account of the pending proceedings before making any consequential decisions.”
The party also urged its members and supporters to remain calm, insisting that the court judgement would not stop its political activities.
It said its campaigns would continue while it explored all available legal options to defend its position.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Senator David Mark, declaring the caretaker committee that oversaw the party’s affairs illegal and invalidating all decisions taken by the committee.
The judgment, delivered on Thursday by Justice Peter Lifu, also affects the presidential primary that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the ADC’s flag bearer for the 2027 general elections.
Atiku, whose name had earlier been published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s presidential candidate, had already selected former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as his running mate.
The ruling followed a suit instituted by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former National Deputy Chairman (North-East) of the ADC, who challenged the process through which the David Mark-led leadership assumed control of the party.
Gombe argued that following the resignation of the party’s former National Chairman, Chief Ralph Nwosu, he was constitutionally entitled to take over the leadership.
He consequently asked the court to invalidate all actions undertaken by the Mark-led leadership and restrain Senator Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola from presenting themselves as the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively.
The plaintiff maintained that their emergence violated the ADC constitution and relevant provisions of the Electoral Act.
In suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, the ADC, INEC, Senator David Mark, Aregbesola and Chief Ralph Nwosu were listed as defendants.
Justice Lifu upheld Gombe’s claims and granted the reliefs sought, effectively invalidating the authority of the caretaker committee and decisions taken under its leadership.
The verdict is expected to trigger fresh political uncertainty within the ADC, particularly over Atiku’s presidential ambition and the party’s preparations for the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
However, the party has vowed to challenge the judgment at the appellate court.
