The Director of Programmes, Ilorin Global Shapers Community, Mr. Azeez Abubakar, said this at a White Paper Stakeholders’ Roundtable on Saturday in Ilorin.
According to him, the Ilorin Climate Action “Iyipada Oju Ojo Ilorin” campaign is an initiative of the Ilorin Global Shapers Community and the aim is to purposefully engage key stakeholders at all levels to implement solutions to local challenges. “According to analyses, Kwara is at high risk of flooding, and schools in Ilorin East and West Local Government Areas have a very high flood risk level and are most impacted by damage caused by flooding.
The Founding Curator, Ilorin Global Shapers Community, Mr. Oyindamola Yusuf, said that working with other stakeholders in the community would help in achieving the aims of the campaign.“We understand that engaging locals is not easy and that is why we are localising it, speaking to them in their local languages, and involving the community members in this campaign.
