Nigeria working on climate finance, projects – Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has disclosed that the Federal Government would be working on issues of climate finance, specific projects that will advance the 2060 Net-Zero target of Nigeria and exploring the possibility of electric vehicles in the country.

He further explained that some of the goals of the Federal Government in pursuing a just energy transition agenda is seeking among other issues, adequate climate finance especially through the African Carbon Market Initiative (ACMI).

In a statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo spoke while receiving a delegation from the US-based Rocky Mountain Institute, an international think-tank involved with the issue of energy transition for the last 40 years.

He had earlier in the day virtually participated in a progress meeting of the international African Carbon Market Initiative Steering Committee where the progress of the plans on broadening the market in Nigeria and Africa had been reviewed.

According to the VP: “We will be considering the decommissioning of generators, development of cooking stoves, think through options such as electric cars; is it the right time? What about charging stations? These are some of the things we have to start thinking about.”

CEO of Rocky Mountain Institute, Jon Creyts expressed readiness to partner with Nigeria on the Federal Government’s Energy Transition Plan since this was a commitment that is shared by the institute as well.

“We share the commitment with Nigeria to get to Net-Zero in 2060 and build a prosperous economy in the process,” Creyts said, while explaining that the institute had worked on similar issues with China, India, Indonesia and altogether 62 countries around the world.

At the meeting of the ACMI, the Steering Committee noted that it plans to attain $1 billion in total commitments by buyers before COP28 later this year.

Besides the Vice President, the members of the ACMI include former President of Colombia, Ivan Duque Marquez; representatives of the United Nations, Rockefeller Foundation and the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet, (GEAPP) among others.

Osinbajo departs to Liberia for young leaders’ forum

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will on Monday depart Abuja for Monrovia, the Liberian capital, to attend the ‘Emerging Young Leaders Forum’, where he is the special guest of honour.

This is according to a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, titled ‘Osinbajo features today in Monrovia at emerging young leaders’ forum.’

Osinbajo’s one-day visit is at the invitation of his Liberian counterpart, Dr. Jewel Howard-Taylor, who is marking her 60th birthday January 17.

At the forum tagged ‘Conversation with the Vice President and Young People’, Osinbajo and other West African leaders will interact with a selected group of 400 emerging leaders “sharing their growth, struggles, attainment, accomplishments and secrets,” according to information from the Office of the Liberian Vice President.

Afterwards, he will hold bilateral talks with President George Weah of Liberia.

It will be the fourth time in five months that both leaders are out of the country at the same time.

Both principal officers have so far embarked on over 125 foreign trips, visiting at least 66 countries during their tenure.

By • Olalekan Fagbade JUST IN; Why I accepted to work with President Tinubu- FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has disclosed the reason why he accepted to work as a Minister under the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Wike noted that President Tinubu has the capacity and political will to direct affairs of the country. Wike, who speaking at a briefing on Friday, said leadership is one of the problems confronting Nigeria. According to him: “One of the reasons I accepted to work with Mr. President is because [of] capacity and the political will to do those things that people are afraid of doing. “One of the problems in this country is leadership, so many people don’t want to take action. There is no action that you take that everybody will be [happy]” Read Also: FG raises N652bn from Sukuk bond The minister said upon assuming office, he discovered that a law establishing a civil service commission for the FCT had been enacted but remained unimplemented. He then brought this to Tinubu’s attention, and Tinubu approved its initiation. “In 2018, the national assembly passed a bill into law which was assented by the former Vice-President Osinbajo when he was acting as the president. [The law says] FCT should have a civil service commission. Everybody has been running away. “Nobody wants to [implement it]. Nobody has the political will to implement it. Everybody is saying ‘if I’m the head of service, it will reduce my power’. No. It is about the institution. The president will come and go. “The minister will come and go, so also the head of service will come and go. If the national assembly passes a bill into law which is assented by Mr President, what is wrong in implementing that law?” #WhyIacceptedtoworkwithPresidentTinububyWike
