President Muhammadu Buhari at Extraordinary Summit of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government on Counter-Terrorism in B/Faso [Photo: T@@BashirAhmaad]President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in New York announced robust plans and initiatives by his administration to reverse the negative effects of climate change in Nigeria.
I want to announce that the Government of Nigeria will develop a more robust sectorial action plan, and expand the scope of our Sovereign Green Bonds in line with our intended upward review of Nigeria’s NDC’s towards the inclusion of the water and waste sectors by 2020. In the energy sector, Nigeria is presently diversifying its energy sources from dependence on gas-powered system to hydro, solar, wind, biomass and nuclear sources. Specifically, Nigeria is progressively working to realize 30 per cent energy efficiency and renewable energy mix by 2030. This is envisaged to lead to 179 million tons of carbon dioxide reduction per annum by 2030.
As you are aware, the Lake Chad Basin, which used to be a region of productivity, food security and wealth for an estimated 40 million citizens living around the Chad Basin, has shrunk significantly from its original size due to Climate Change.
A man that has not put out a single policy on climate change in 5 years? These guys are idiots.
Another goof.
Oh pleaseee!!
Why giving this guys unnecessary publication if he will be going to UN to do what?under which arrangements?discussing what ?with who?by which arrangements? I beg tell us when he finished standing on the corridor
Climate Change is far from what this country needs. Let's get our priorities right. This is just another opportunity to waste our resources.
