The Lagos State Government has restated its commitment to continuing the fight against climate change.

Gbenga Omotosho, the state’s Commissioner for Information, made the commitment on Thursday at a climate change art exhibition organised by ‘Our Tomorrow Foundation.’

He noted that the state government, through the appropriate departments, is spearheading the fight against pollution and tree-cutting in the state.

In his words, “The whole essence of the climate change campaign shows that it is real that even school children understand what we are talking about and how endangered our world is”. “It shows us that the legacy we can leave for our children and generations unborn is to educate them on the dangers of climate change”.

Speaking further, he said, “the arts are beautiful, natural and very attractive to all of us, climate change is real, and we must do something about it. This exhibition coming from young people shows the kind of creativity we have in our young people in Nigeria”.

According to the commissioner, the dangers posed by climate change are real, and all hands must be on deck to address them.

Earlier, the founder of Our Tomorrow Foundation, Prince Emeka Obasi Junior, said that the purpose of the art exhibition for students in the state was to create awareness of the dangers of climate change among the younger people.
