UNICAL Prof Attends COP 27 Despite Failing to Secure Appointment from Egypt Gov, Days after Refusing to Endorse Peter Obi

The 27th Conference of the Parties (COP 27) opened yesterday in the Egyptian City of Sharm El Sheikh, with delegates agreeing to adopt as an agenda item, the proposal by the Africa Group of negotiators for developed countries meet the costs incurred by developing countries when repairing infrastructure damaged by floods and other extreme climate conditions.

Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui of the University of Calabar was in attendance alongside other international delegates as a Leading Member of the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Women Caucus Group, despite failing to secure any appointment from the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt ahead of the Conference. Recall, during the 26th Conference of Parties on Climate Change in Glasgow, Professor Aniebiet played a significant role during the Edu-Tech segments of the Conference and even received an appointed from the United Kingdom Government as a Member of the COP 26-UK Universities Climate Network.

In the buildup to the Conference in El Sheikh, the Nobel Prize nominee participated in various United Nations High Level Meetings, including the Climate Change High Level Meetings held in the German City of Bonn and was widely expected to lead Edu-Tech deliberations during the Conference. At the end of the meeting on “Partnerships for Capacity Development and Climate Change” in Germany, one of the participants said they were “looking forward to meet and work with Aniebiet Inyang Ntui during the High-Level Deliberations of COP 27”.

This all comes a week after the Most Read Researcher in Nigeria, came out through statements to various media groups including The Cable, to refuse to endorse Peter Obi for Presidency. She went further to claim that she is not “interested in any divisive issues or any political appointments” from the Labor Party. In June, Obi went to Egypt to understudy the education, power and finance sectors of the North African country and went with various high position officials.
