A presidential committee on the implementation of the Nguru Ecological Intervention Programme to tackle climate change and environmental challenges and food security in the country has been inaugurated by the Federal Government.

The committee was inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari, who requested ecological funds for the afforestation of degraded land to mitigate climate change impacts.

Buhari who was represented by Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi, recalled that the land was cleared in 2017 through the intervention of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to enable implementation of the livelihood project called Rural Agriculture Re-modelled Project Strategies.

“Since this request is in conformity with the vision and developmental agenda of the present administration, especially the attainment of the National Determined Contribution (NDC) and global emission reduction, an inter-ministerial committee comprising relevant Ministries and Agencies,” the president said.

He said that the Federal Government was committed to tackling climate change and environmental challenges, food security, and other socio-economic problems across the country, adding that the government was dedicated to improving the general wellbeing of the people, adding that it was being clearly demonstrated through various policies, programmes and initiatives by the ministry.

He therefore called for collaborative partnerships of all stakeholders to make life better for the people through degraded lands restoration, mitigation of climate change impacts, as well as improved livelihoods.
