Minister of Communications and Digitalization, Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has informed personnel and management of the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) of the government's commitment to provide all essential equipment for the enhancement of their job.

She announced this at the deployment & closing ceremony of training organized for newly recruited staff of the Ghana Meteorological Agency on Tuesday, April 11, 2023.

She stated that the work of GMET is a critical service per the Labour Act of Ghana, Act 653, and that it is imperative government pays critical attention to the operations of the Agency and provide the necessary resources and personnel to support its operations.

"The hiring of these individuals demonstrates the government's commitment to ensuring that GMET is sufficiently equipped to carry out its job.

As policymakers and the supervisory authority, we will continue to provide the necessary support and guidance to ensure that the Agency is properly positioned to contribute better to climate and weather service delivery, particularly at a time when climate change issues have become more prominent globally and institutions like the Ghana Meteorological Agency are expected to lead national efforts to address the government's commitment to ensure that GMET is adequate" she said.
