The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari, Yesterday, November 18, 2021 signed Climate Change Bill into law.
The bill which was sponsored by the member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency, Abia State, Hon. Sam Onuigbo FCIS FNIM,

Reportedly, the bill is aimed at providing a legal framework on which the country’s climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts will be based on.
Speaking to journalists, Rep. Onuigbo said, “It is important to note that the Climate Change Act makes provisions for the constitution of National Council on Climate Change headed by the President, with members including Ministers of relevant Ministries, Chairman of the Governors’ Forum, President of ALGON, National Security Adviser, representatives of the youths, Persons Living with Disabilities, women, climate-related NGOs, the private sector, the all-encompassing nature of the composition of the Council is to ensure that the voices of all is heard.
He posited that the Act further sets up the Climate Change Fund to be administered by the Council.
Hear him: “This fund will be channeled towards adaptation efforts, support for innovations that will lead to decarbonization, investments into green economy, support for nature-based solutions such as REDD+ and the Great Green Wall Initiative, and many more.
Continuing, he added: “It also sets a Net Zero emissions target for the country while setting up five-yearly carbon budgets and annual carbon targets. There are also provisions for proper oversight on Nigeria’s Climate Change efforts by the National Assembly and a communication process that is time-bound, and public.
Onuigbo further commended President Buhari, while acknowledging that the first part of the all important journey had been actualised.
“Proper implementation demands full attention and action by all of us. Together, and only together, can we realize our objectives and set our country on the path of an important transition to green and sustainable economy. Make no mistakes about it, the world is transiting and we must join or wake up in a few decades, an impoverished and uninhabitable country.
“I will like to thank His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari for exhibiting selfless and precocious leadership. Worthy of commendation are also the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan GCON, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon.
