The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that it would keep its Climate Change commitments in a manner that benefits the needs of the people.
Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), gave the assurance on Friday when he received on a courtesy call, a delegation from the World Bank-led by its Managing Director of Development Policy and Partnerships, Dr. Mari Pangestu, as well as its Country Director for Nigeria, Shubham Chaudhuri.
According to a statement issued by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande, Professor Osinbajo also interacted with officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the IMF Article IV bilateral consultations.
“I think it is very important, at least this is what we are trying to do, to keep our sights on what would work for the majority of our people.
“The truth, of course, is that we have fossil fuel resources, we have all of that, but we have energy issues, distribution, and quality of access to energy, as well as clean energy.
“So, those are the issues; access to energy and education, then renewable energy, and how to be able to move quickly enough in terms of putting renewable energy in place,” the Vice President said.
