The Nigerian government has expressed worry over the extent of pressure mounted on natural resources in Nigeria by climate change.

Permanent Secretary, Ecological Project Office, Habiba Lawal, made this known when the course participants of the National Institute of Security Studies visited her office for an interactive session in Abuja.

According to Lawal, population explosion had also led to insecurity and conflicts, undermining peace in Africa because of pressure on resources.

She explained that the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change explicitly showed that the world was warming faster than estimated before and that humans caused most of such change.

“The effects of climate change are widespread and significant, affecting agriculture, energy, human health, terrestrial and marine ecosystems among others, especially in Africa,” she said.

She called on the NISS to develop and implement policies that would check climate change-related conflicts across boundaries in Africa.
