Buhari To UN: ‘we Will Mobilize Nigerian Youths To Plant 25 Million Trees’ by GboltNG: 9:52pm On Sep 23, 2019 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has said as part of plans to enhance Nigeria’s carbon sink, the federal government will mobilize its youths to plant 25 million trees across the country. Buhari said this while addressing world leaders at the United Nations Climate Action Summit tagged “A Race We Can Win. A Race We Must Win” on Monday. According to his media aide, Femi Adesina, the president told attendees at the summit that his administration will embark on different initiatives aimed at reversing the negative effects of climate change in the country. Adesina said Buhari shared the sentiment expressed by the UN Secretary-General that the world was on the verge of climate catastrophe, noting that “undeniably, Climate Change is a human-induced phenomenon.” Buhari said, “It is in this regard that I wish to reiterate Nigeria’s commitment to its obligation under the Paris Agreement, the aspirations enshrined in our Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and ensure a resilient future that mainstreams climate risks in our decision making “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,” he said. The president also said the country would issue a Green Bond for irrigation and construct multi-purpose dams for power, irrigation and water supply. “We will strengthen solid and liquid waste management systems to attract more private sector investors. “We will take concrete steps to harness climate innovative ideas by including youths in decision making processes as part of our over-all climate governance architecture. “We will mobilize Nigerian youths towards planting 25 million trees to enhance Nigeria’s carbon sink,” he said. Adesina said President Buhari disclosed that Nigeria had embarked on diversification of its energy sources from dependence on gas-powered system to hydro, solar, wind, biomass and nuclear sources. The president said the country was progressively working to realize 30 percent energy efficiency and renewable energy mix by 2030, saying this is envisaged to lead to 179 million tons of carbon dioxide reduction per annum by 2030. “In addition, our Administration intends to develop a shelter belt across 11 States of the Federation spanning a distance of 1,500 km and 15km across through the Great Green Wall initiative. “Furthermore, the Federal Government has commenced the implementation of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Programme in Ogoniland, to recover the carbon sink potential of the mangrove ecosystem of the one thousand square kilometers (1,000 KM2) polluted site in the affected area. “I should also inform the summit that our Government has introduced Climate Smart Agricultural Practices to unlock Seventy-Four (74) Million tons of carbon dioxide per annum, through relevant technologies, advocacy and best practices,” he added. President Buhari also noted that 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, had shrunk significantly from its original size due to Climate Change. https://punchng.com/climate-change-is-a-human-induced-phenomenon-buhari-says-at-unga/amp/ 3 Likes

This guy is the clown of the century. From climate change to planting 25 million trees? Or is that what de facto Presidents Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura told him to say? How will this improve the economy of Nigeria or recover the money his cronies have looted? He never fails to disappoint. 138 Likes 8 Shares |

Why not empower 25million Nigerians. Senseless president. This man keeps proving how useless he is, who is going to plant the trees, is it the youths he called lazy or the ones that are jobless and feed from hand to mouth. The situation Nigeria is in now we need improvement in our economy and this buhari is talking of climate change that he knows nothing about. 80 Likes 7 Shares |

Buhari should have been doing this in North since 2015 to stem the deforestation that's causing his herders to fight with farmers. But this one is so funny to me: “We will take concrete steps to harness climate innovative ideas by including youths in decision making processes as part of our over-all climate governance architecture." In a cabinet where the average age exceeds 50 years? General Double-speak. Weh done sah. 3 Likes 1 Share |
