The Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change, Salisu Dahiru, has said that the current administration of president Bola Tinubu remains committed to tackling climate change related issues in the country.

Dahiru made this known in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Monday, during the South West sensitisation programme on the use of Atmosfair Save80 clean cookstoves, a climate-friendly device.

In his address, Dahiru said that the present administration has recognised that resolving the issues of climate change provides it with ample opportunity to achieve many of its objectives, such as revamping the economy, providing security, and ending the country’s super dependence on fossil fuels.

He said, “This government wants to revamp the economy, provide security, and is interested in ending its super dependence on fossil fuels. We want to use our natural resources to address challenges that the country is facing, and addressing them could be possible by prioritising the climate change discussion. To revamp the economy, we want to say that we want to stop using our natural resources in a bad way.’’

Dahiru further said that deforestation remains one huge problem through which the country contributes to climate change, adding that the use of this Atmos fair Save80 clean cookstove has the power to reduce by 80 per cent the use of firewood.

He noted that although these clean stoves were originally designed in Germany, they will be produced here in the country as the promoters are already willing to establish one of those factories in Ogun State.
