GLOBE Nigeria Calls for Speedy Passage of Climate Change Bill
The Nigerian Chapter of the Global Legislator’s Organization for a Balanced Environment (GLOBE Nigeria) has called on the National Assembly to pass the draft Climate Change Framework Bill currently at different stages of both legislative chambers.
This comes as the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Patricia Espinosa announced receipt of Nigeria’s Climate Change Ratification Instrument.
President of the group, Bukar Abba Ibrahim stated this at a media briefing in Abuja, Wednesday.
According to the senator, it is time for the Legislature to put a seal on the Paris Climate Change agreement, signed by President Muhammadu Buhari at the 71st United Nations General Assembly, New York, in 2016.
