The Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu has been successfully certified to the NiMet’s quality management system ISO 9001:2015 scope for the provision of Aeronautical Meteorological services to the aviation industry.
This is in compliance with the directive by the minister of aviation and aerospace development, Mr Festus Keyamo to the DG/CEO Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Professor Charles Anosike to “ensure strict compliance with safety regulations and continuous upward movement of Nigeria’s rating by WMO and ICAO”.
This feat was achieved after a successful third-party audit of NiMet’s products and services offered to airlines at Enugu International Airport by Certech Inc. Canada.
NiMet’s services were found to be in conformity with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 standard after a rigorous audit that lasted from July 15 to 17, 2024.
In a letter to the director general of NiMet dated July 17, 2024, with the heading ‘ISO 9001:2015’, and signed by Frank Strohmeier, Lead Auditor and Director at Certech, the certification agency noted as follows; “The audit objectives for the surveillance audit were achieved.
A systematic process audit was performed with emphasis on risks and objectives per ISO 9001:2015.”
Accordingly, the 3rd party audit by Certech Inc. Canada resulted in the issuance of a revised certificate that states; “The Nigerian Meteorological Agency quality management system conforms to the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 for the provision of meteorological services to the aviation industry.”
Recall that NiMet was successfully recertified to the ISO standard in July 2023 for Murtala Muhammed International Airport Ikeja, Aminu Kano International Airport, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and the Port Harcourt International Airport Omagwa.
The ISO certification is usually valid for a three-year period with a yearly surveillance and maintenance audit until the next recertification due date in the year 2026.
Speaking on this development, Prof. Anosike said, “We are excited about this. Our Quality Management System (QMS) team led by Usman Abdulrahman have been working round the clock to achieve this feat. We are not stopping here as management is focused on overall improvement of standards at all our operational locations”.
Jewels Leading Lights International ( JLLI), a world-class school that combines the Montessori, Nigerian and British curricula, has opened its state-of-the-art edifice in the Federal Capital Territory(FCT).
Stakeholders from different backgrounds, including members of the diplomatic community, as well as parents were present at the Grand Opening and Graduation Ceremony on Friday where the imposing edifice was commissioned.
A cleric, Rev. Onyinye Alfred, formally cut the tape and said prayers on the facility before the grand opening ceremony, a glamorous event packed with series of presentations and performances by students of the school.
Director of the School, Mrs Oluwatoyin Oboh, said investing in such a top-notch educational facility in Nigeria was driven by commitment to nurturing local talent, fostering intellectual growth and promoting academic excellence, which will ultimately foster development of skilled workforce thus fostering socio-economic growth and stability across Nigeria.
According to the Director, by incorporating advance technology and resources, the school seeks to foster innovation, critical thinking, and practical skills in students in a bid to help them thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
“For Jewels Leading Light International, we are very intentional about excellence and the quality of education we give the children. Our vision is to prepare the children for a global world; children who will be innovative and make a difference in Nigeria and the world at large.
“Here we offer the international primary curriculum, the Cambridge, and the Nigerian curriculum, and we have invested highly in state-of-the-art educational technology because technology is the future and there is no point in preparing learners who cannot compete.
“We equip our library with the understanding that leaders are readers and those who make change must acquire knowledge, and I will say that the kind of lab facilities we have here can only be found abroad and not here in Nigeria and we did it because we understand that experience is very important.”
Oboh added: “One of the visions we have for the hostels is to be a home away from home and it has been achieved. There is nothing that gives me joy than when children are happy learning and not bored about it. Here, our children are happy learning in this environment.
“If you bring your child here be rest assured that your child will stand-out among their peers, and our doors are opened to everyone, admission will take place this September for the 2024/2025 academic section.”
Guest Speaker, Mr Fola Daniel, acclaimed administrator and business mogul, commended the founder of JLLI for their commitment to educational excellence, add that “As we celebrate and applaud this milestone, I urge each of us to reflect on how we can use our resources to make a difference and to create a legacy of positive impact.
“Let l us inspire the next generation with the value of giving as a cornerstone of a fulfilling and meaningful life. The true value of work lies in the ability to transform lives and communities.
“Let us honour this vision by subscribing to the unique values of Jewels Leading Lights International,” he said.
Highpoint of the even was the presentation of awards of recognition to outstanding graduating students of from year 9 and year 12 classes.
Located in the serene Life-Camp area in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, JLLI is a state-of-the-art educational facility envisioned to fill the gaps in educational infrastructure. It seeks to provide little ones, through its Creche facility, and students aged 2 – 18 with access to modern and well-equipped learning environments.
JLLI, which runs both the day and the boarding system, seeks to contribute to bringing the overall quality of education and academic performance in Nigeria up to par with international standards.
The founders of JLLI believe that education extends far beyond the four walls of the classroom and therefore conceived a comprehensive approach to learning, encompassing a wide range of extracurricular activities, community engagement initiatives, and global perspectives, ensuring that students graduate as well-rounded individuals poised to make a positive impact on society.
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has indicated the readiness of the parliament to partner with the International Trade Centre (ITC), to boost the digital economy of the most populous African country.
He also gave hints of the establishment of food processing centres across the five states of the South-East through Peace In South-East Project (PISE-P).
Kalu made the disclosures over the weekend while playing host to a delegation from ITC at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.
He acknowledged the immense contributions of the Center to the economic development of Nigeria and the entire West African region, saying, “your work is truly commendable”.
The Deputy Speaker specifically mentioned the ongoing projects of the organisation in Nigeria and West Africa, which include the EU-funded WACOMP program; the GIZ-funded ECOWAS Agricultural Trade (EAT) program; which has helped to boost Nigeria’s agricultural trade capacity and for improved intra-regional agricultural trade, as well as economic resilience and food security; and the upcoming nationwide expansion of IDEAS in 2025, which he believed, will provide invaluable technical assistance to the agri-food e-commerce ecosystem across the country.
The Deputy Speaker also told the delegation about the existing partnership between PISE-P and the Nigerian Communications Satellite (NigComSat) in building community digital hubs across some parts of the South-East region.
“We express our keen interest in collaborating with the ITC to leverage this initiative that we are currently building with NigComSat to use the
community digital hubs for local onboarding and training in the IDEAS
program’s digitization and e-commerce aspects.
“By utilising the digital hubs
established through the PISE-P and NigComSat partnership, we can
provide targeted training and support to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). This collaboration will empower local businesses to
thrive in the digital economy and enhance their competitiveness on a
global scale,” Kalu said.
He, however, expressed worry that the insecurity in the South-East region has had a devastating impact on businesses and incomes, stressing that, focusing on education, agriculture, and
infrastructure development were non-kinetic measures crucial for restoring peace and stimulating
development in South-East region.
“As we look forward to the nationwide expansion of the IDEAS program in
2025, we express a strong interest in the ITC collaborating with PISE-P as a key partner. PISE-P’s work in addressing socio-economic challenges and
promoting peace and development aligns perfectly with the goals of the
IDEAS program. Together, we can create a more resilient and inclusive
digital economy, particularly in regions facing significant challenges.
“It is essential to bridge the digital divide to ensure that all Nigerians have
access to the opportunities presented by the digital economy. The disparity
in digital access between urban and rural areas must be addressed to foster inclusive growth.
“We believe that through the combined efforts of the ITC, PISE-P, and the House of Representatives, we can implement effective strategies to provide digital access and literacy to underserved communities, ensuring no one is left behind in this digital transformation journey,” Kalu added.
Speaking earlier, the ITC delegation led by Ms Natasha Aniekwu said the agency jointly owned by the world trade organization and UN, aim is to promote trade, specifically across developing economies.
Commending the Deputy Speaker on his several interventions to empower local businesses, she informed him of their program focused on making E-commerce more accessible and beneficial for SMEs particularly in disadvantaged areas and the agency’s interest to partner with his office.
Aniekwu said, “We are an agency jointly owned by the world trade organization and UN, we are based in Geneva Switzerland and our primary aim really is to promote trade, specifically across developing economies, this means that We work a lot in Africa, in Asia and in the Middle East. In Nigeria, we have a project office, currently situated within the ECOWAS commission. Our primary reason for coming is to speak to you about a Nigeria focused program. We ran a pilot of this program for 6 months using Imo state as a pilot location, we got a lot of support from the ministry of trade. The major focus of IDEAs is to make E-commerce more accessible and beneficial for SMEs or business communities particularly in disadvantaged areas or vulnerable locations.”
