Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to improving access to affordable, reliable energy and transitioning to the use of cleaner energy, in line with the global target of net-zero emissions.
Net-Zero entails that new emissions were not added to the atmosphere.
The president made the commitment through Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at a virtual Africa Regional Heads of Government Commonwealth Roundtable, on Thursday, according to a statement, in Abuja, by Laolu Akande, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the vice president.
Buhari cautioned, however, that an end to international funding for gas, as a fossil fuel, would create dire challenges for gas-producing countries especially in Africa.
