Nigeria has the highest number of registered delegates from Africa at the ongoing COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

According to a list published by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Nigeria is also third-highest overall in number of delegates at the conference.

The provisional total for COP28 indicates that 81,027 delegates registered to attend the summit in person. With a further 3,074 attending virtually, this takes the overall total to 84,101, a report released on Friday by Carbon Brief said.

The figure is 30,000 more than those who travelled to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt for COP27 in 2022, the previous largest in an almost 30-year history of summits.
The UAE accounted for the largest-ever registered delegation of any country, with 4,409 badges, followed by Brazil with 3,081.

Nigeria and China are joint third with 1,411 badges each.

Apart from government officials, staff of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and celebrities are among those who registered to attend the annual climate change conference

President Bola Tinubu, who is in Dubai for the conference, is expected to deliver a national statement at the world leaders’ summit highlighting Nigeria’s stance on various thematic issues, including renewable energy and climate financing.

Trust Nigerian govt officials. Jamboree time.
Means to drain govt purse.
Most of Nigerian delegates don't even have any business being there.

Toh
Folks like nairalanda1 will claim we can't afford subsidy like China because we don't produce like China
But he won't explain how we can have same number of delegates to a conference with China and even more than US and UK

And 90% of the delegates have no idea of what they went there for.
A country that depends solely on Niger Delta oil is talking about climate change

And the beat goes on...

The return on expenditure (ROE) of the Tinubu administration's globetrotting is STILL negative. I wager that a poll of most Nigerians today will reveal that they don't even know we have a ministry of the environment...or that said ministry has a Department of Climate Change. And yet the Nigerian delegation to this year's COP is the third largest (as is China's)...meanwhile China has had an active carbon credit market for YEARS.

This conference is just one more example of the wide open sluice gates for unnecessary, unjustifiable public sector spending, Nigerian style. This is where the money goes!

When we yelled non-stop about public sector reform - this is the sort of waste we referred to - and that waste MUST be curbed for real development to take place in this country. But Nigerians wouldn't listen - and they re-elected a failed political party to liberate them from poverty. How is that going to happen with this? How can anyone say with a straight face that BAT is the answer?

Remove a thousand 'subsidies' - and then spend the 'subsidy savings' on flight tickets, allowances and estacodes for politicians and government MDA staff...at numerous summits, workshops and meetings whose 'value' we will certainly NOT unlock. Does this make sense?

Nigerians will learn the HARD way.

Watching how left brain Reno omokiri will pretend this topic never existed or matter

Yet the masses must carry & endure the burden of 'austerity measures', while those who institute the measures continue to live profligate lives on our commonwealth.

A list of delegates that has Toke Makinwa?

APC is a very unserious party
