Tinubu Approves National Carbon Market Framework

President Bola Tinubu has approved a National Carbon Market Framework, a strategic move to position Nigeria in the global carbon trading economy. The approval, granted at a meeting of the National Council on Climate Change, is expected to unlock significant revenue for the country. The initiative could generate between $2.5 billion and $3 billion annually in carbon finance over the next decade. This framework will allow Nigeria to more competitively sell carbon credits on the international market. These credits represent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, which other countries or companies can purchase to offset their own emissions. President Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, stated that addressing climate change is an economic opportunity. He emphasized that the move will attract new investments, create jobs, and drive innovation in sectors like energy and agriculture. The government also operationalized the Climate […]

Natasha Clarifies Invitation to Akpabio as Protocol

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has clarified that her official invitation to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other senators was a standard procedural courtesy, not a personal or political gesture. The invitation was for colleagues to attend the inauguration of constituency projects marking her second anniversary in the Senate. After the letter was read during plenary, some interpretations suggested it was an "olive branch" amidst their known political differences. The Senator expressed displeasure at this interpretation on her social media handles. She stated that the announcement was a routine protocol and not a sign of reconciliation. "Announcement by protocol don turn to 'Olive Branch, Reconciliation'," she wrote, adding that failing to invite the institution would have also been criticized. She explained that she followed customary practice by writing to the Senate through the presiding officer. She emphasized that despite ongoing court cases, […]
