Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has said that the country is currently battling the negative effect of climate change as experienced in the recent flooding in different parts of the country, as well as encroaching desertification and drought prevalent in northern Nigeria.

The President made this known on Tuesday while interacting with the former United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, on the sidelines of the First World Bio Summit 2022 in Seoul, South Korea.

The president however expressed delight with the existing cooperation between Nigeria and the Republic of Korea, especially in the area of energy supply, including the exportation of gas exports to the Asian country.

On his part, the former UN Secretary-General sympathized with President Buhari over the flooding, while calling for more investment to improve education, avert environmental degradation and prevent diseases in order to meet the core Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The former UN boss who is the Chair of Ban Ki-Moon Foundation for a Better Future and a strong advocate for Climate Change remediation, appreciated Buhari for attending the World Bio Summit, adding that his presence would highlight the importance of global action and cooperation in the development of vaccines and technology to meet the huge threat and challenges of pandemics.

Ban Ki-Moon called for more people-to-people engagements and cultural cooperation between both countries even as he sought Nigeria’s support in Korea’s bid to host an EXPO in 2030 while noting that Nigeria is a very important country having prominent citizens occupying sensitive positions in global organizations.

He noted that his Global Centre on Adaptation is trying to mobilize resources to help developing countries fight climate change as he urged donor countries to fulfil their financial commitments to the Global Climate Fund.
