Vice President Kashim Shettima said on Tuesday that with the removal of fuel subsidy, Nigeria is projected to save over 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in one year.

Shettima said this at the one-day workshop organised by the National Council on Climate Change with the theme “Unpacking the outcomes of the 58 sessions of the subsidiary bodies of the United Nations framework convention on climate change,” organised by the National Council on Climate Change.

Shettima, who was represented by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Senator Ibrahim Hassan, noted that Nigeria was on course to achieve the nationally-determined contribution targets.


“At the onset of this administration, President Bola Tinubu took the bold step to put an end to the petrol subsidy. Preliminary analysis conducted by the National Council on Climate Change on the co-benefits of fuel subsidy removal indicates that there has been about a 30 per cent reduction in daily fuel consumption, amounting to about 20 million litres, equivalent to an estimated daily saving of 42,800 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

“When projected over one year, it amounts to over 15 million tonnes of CO2 saved, representing about 40 per cent greenhouse gas reduction from the baseline projection of 45 million metric tonnes of total GHG carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030. This places Nigeria on course to achieve our NDC targets ahead of time,” he said.

In his welcome address, the Director General of the NCCC, Dr Salisu Dahiru, said there was a need for Nigeria to prepare adequately for COP28 and other statutory meetings.

Spoken like a true DUNCE!

How much una take settle her to give FESTUS OTOBO her slot?🤪🤪🤪

Quota system dunce

Says a man that drives only SUVs

Just look at the way a so-called VP is reasoning .... What a slowpoke

Shettima is right. Cars on the street of Lagos have reduce. You can drive from ipaja to Oshodi, oshodi to Victoria island, in less than 50 minute since the subsidy removal. It was not possible before the removal of subsidy.

Save over 15million tonnes of CO, and kill over 15million Nigerians with hardship.
Wetin be your gain.

Omo fuel subsidy removal don mk roads dey empty.

Hunger, poverty and starvation is ravaging the country and the fool is concerned about CO emissions..

Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world

Nigeria is also the undisputed unemployment capital of the world

What these imbeciles in power are doing is sharing more money amongst themselves.. creating more ministries for their cronies to loot

Tinubu is a disaster
Nothing good can come out of APc chaired by Gandollar... A confirmed thief

Our leaders have totally gone mad 😞

Oya na......always throwing punch at the less privileged....last time was National Assembly.

If FG cared about the Environment at all
Security Agents would not be pouring seized Crude Oil from ramshackled refineries in the Niger Delta on to the Ground and into Rivers
Knowing fully well how devastating it is to Humans, Wildlife, and Aquatic life

What errant nonsense is this one saying

Meanwhile first quarter subsidy removal

it will actually reduce harmful emissions -no doubt. But the heavy duty trucks blowing black smoke everywhere are the ones that need to go off the road, not the half decent cars. Countries who care about the environment have eco-friendly laws including a real roadworthiness test on cars; ensuring that the emission control system works well so that the vehicle performs optimally to keep the emissions as low as possible! They put enough buses on the road; there are trains, so you don't have to leg 20km to work because you don't have a car and you don't have tfare! His statement is insensitive and badly timed because people are parking their cars out of poverty and not out of love for the environment

Reduced food intake too will reduce feaces emission from the rectum, morôn.

Instead of talking about alternatives to assist people meet their production needs, he is highlighting a one-sided advantage of reduced petrol use.
Scientists forgot morôns when they said the world is made up of electrons, neutrons, and protons.

When Tinubu was using 120 vehicle convoy, where was his clean climate instinct?

Chai..


Jokes and gimmicks..

Laughing at the poor because AC is seriously blowing the idiot's GBOLAtus.

Jesse6:
Omo fuel subsidy removal don mk roads dey empty.

Children dey holiday

And the citizens should continue to suffer?
Idan!

Werey talk and justification.

Is climate change our major problem? What percentage of carbon emissions does entire Africa generate in comparison to G7 alone?

Less income for petrol stations.

Less income for mechanics.

Increase in unemployment.

Hmmm
