President Muhammadu Buhari will among other
issues bring the need and efforts by his government
to clean the devastated Ogoni environment in the
Niger Delta to world leaders at the 22nd Conference
of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC), also known as COP-22, to hold in
Marrakech, Morocco, from November 14-16, 2016.
This was contained in a statement from presidential
spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, on Sunday.
According to Adesina, Buhari would participate in
the official opening plenary on November 15 where
he would deliver his national statement during the
high level segment of COP 22.
The President will use the occasion of his speech to
rally international support for the clean-up of
Ogoniland in the Niger Delta.
Another key issue President Buhari will canvass
support for is the resuscitation of the Lake Chad
Basin.
Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to implementing
the Nationally determined contributions and policy
actions aimed at tackling climate change through
environmental sustainable efforts will be also be
restated to the gathering by President Buhari.
Versatile Reporters recalls that the president had on
August 5, inaugurated the Governing Council and the
Board of Trustees of the Trust Fund for the
Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project
(HYPREP).
The two bodies were for the Implementation of the
United Nations Environmental Report (UNEP) Report
on Ogoniland.
Despite these efforts, many stakeholders have
continued to express anger at the delay in
kicstarting the clean up exercise that is estimated
to last for a duration of 30 years.
