An Abuja-based non-governmental organisation, the Society for Planet and Prosperity (SPP), has called on the incoming government to tackle the climate crisis with the top 11 Net Zero and Economic Development Measures.

The President of SPP, Prof. Chukwumerije Okereke, made the call at a news conference on Monday in Abuja.

According to Okereke, the top 11 measures include on- and off-grid generation of renewable electricity, the elimination of diesel and gasoline generators by 2030 and the planting of 300 million trees by 2030.

In his words, “End gas flaring by 2030, reduce wood cooking and introduce clean cooking to 30 million households, construction of 300,000 green homes annually for five years and shift to Bus Rapid Transport with enforcement of emission standards.

“Transition to properly designed engineered landfill with the state-of-the-art gas collection, enhanced irrigation powered by renewable energy.

“Increase energy efficiency by reducing transmission losses, and restoration of landscape scale and recharge of Lake Chad Basin.”

He pointed out that the initiative examined choices and actions that, if made in the upcoming five years, would support a socioeconomic transition that would allow Nigeria to achieve the 2060 net-zero aim set forward by the government and stated at COP26 in Glasgow.
