The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Climate Change, who also doubles as the Vice-President of Globe Nigeria, Honourable Samuel I. Onuigbo has hinted that the much-awaited Climate Change Bill would be passed into law before the end of the year.
The lawmaker representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South Federal Constituency of Abia state stated this in a press conference held weekend in Abuja.
Hon. Onuigbo who fingered climate change as one of the leading causes of the herdsmen-farmer crisis and Boko Haram insurgency said greater understanding and solutions is being proffered to address the menace of change in ecological factors.
Onuigbo explained that decades ago nomadic activities were mostly found around the Lake Chad Basin which attracted other huge commercial activities including fishing and crop farming in the North-Eastern of Nigeria.
