The Federal Government has made giant strides in its effort to ensure resilience to decarbonisation and climate change.
Minister of the Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi said this while inaugurating the Geographic Information System, GIS Science and Services Laboratory and Soundbite of the proposed Climate Leadership Certification Programme and Symposium, at the University of Lagos.
He explained that the stride has projected Nigeria’s position among the climate change compliant nations, globally, adding that the Climate Leadership programme about to be unveiled in the centre, in the university, would further compliment the laudable efforts of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration in ensuring clean environment.
Abdullahi said the programme by the university would enable both government and the private sector actors, to acquire the much needed skills to reduce the country’s global warming emissions.
Earlier, the Vice Chancellor of the university Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, in his welcome address, noted that the plan to make the centre the converging point in Africa that could compete globally in the field of environment, was laudable and a step in the right direction.
