The Director General of the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), Umar Ibrahim Mohammed, recently led the management staff of the Agency on a facility tour of the Remote Sensing and Land Resources Consultancy (RESLARC) training center in Abuja.
During the visit, Dr. A.A. Usman, the Managing Director of RESLARC, provided a comprehensive overview of the training center, detailing the various services offered. These services include remote sensing, harvesting and housing data, geospatial technology, and the use of satellite technology in water resources management. Dr. Usman emphasized the importance of collaboration between RESLARC and NIHSA to achieve sustainable capacity development. He also pledged to assist NIHSA in conceptualizing bankable project ideas that align with the Agency's mandate.
The facility tour offered NIHSA's management staff an opportunity to see firsthand the state-of-the-art equipment and technology used by RESLARC in their operations. This visit was more than just a tour; it was a chance for NIHSA to engage in meaningful discussions with the Managing Director and explore avenues for strengthening partnerships with key stakeholders in the field of remote sensing and mapping.
The collaboration between NIHSA and RESLARC is expected to enhance data collection, improve human capacity building, and boost analysis capabilities. Ultimately, this partnership aims to benefit the Nigerian people through better water resource management and enhanced disaster preparedness.
