The Minister of State for Environment, Ibrahim Usman Jibril, has said the German government spent over 50 million euro, to support Nigeria and other West African countries on research projects regarding climate change.
Jibril disclosed this during a meeting with a delegation from West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), led by its Executive Director, Prof. Jimmy Adegoke, in Abuja.
The minister, while thanking the German government for the support got from the governing council and executive director of WASCAL, said climate change was not something that one could wish away.
“I believe our brothers and sisters from Yobe will attest to it that when you come from areas in the north, where the sand dunes are real, there seems to be barren villages and limited water resources: you cannot deny climate change,” he said.
