Advancing Nigeria’s Climate Goals: The Path To A Comprehensive National Carbon Budget

Nigeria stands at a pivotal moment in addressing the pressing climate challenges that threaten both its environment and economy.

Under the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, the nation’s commitment to developing a credible and comprehensive National Carbon Budget underscores its dedication to fulfilling international climate obligations, particularly under the Paris Agreement.

Minister of Environment, Malam Balarabe Abbas Lawal, delivered a keynote address emphasizing that this initiative is not merely a technical requirement but a national imperative that calls for collaborative efforts across all sectors of society.

"It offers a unique opportunity to harmonize climate policies with sustainable economic growth, social development, and environmental preservation.
The Climate Change Act of 2021 mandates the Federal Ministry of Environment, in consultation with the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, to establish and periodically revise the carbon budget in alignment with Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This legal framework reinforces Nigeria’s resolve to implement ambitious emission reduction targets and comply fully with its international commitments.

"The success of Nigeria’s National Carbon Budget depends heavily on the active participation of diverse stakeholders. The Ministry of Environment and its agencies are prepared to provide strategic oversight and policy guidance.

"Stakeholders are called upon to champion accountability and inclusiveness throughout the process. The academia is expected to contribute vital data, insights, and technological innovations, while development partners are encouraged to support through funding, capacity building, and knowledge exchange. The private sector’s role is equally critical, as it drives innovation, investments, and the adoption of sustainable practices essential for developing a vibrant carbon market. Through these collective efforts, Nigeria can unlock significant environmental, social, and economic benefits.

"Adequate and sustainable funding is essential to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the carbon budget development process. Financial resources are required for accurate data collection, scientific research, capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and the establishment of robust monitoring, reporting, and verification systems. Nigeria recognizes that climate action demands investment not only from the government but also from development partners, the private sector, and international climate finance mechanisms.

"The country is committed to mobilizing these diverse funding sources to build a resilient, transparent, and impactful carbon management framework.

"The journey toward carbon neutrality and climate resilience is a collective endeavor that requires shared knowledge, unwavering commitment, and collaborative action. This initiative represents more than a policy framework; it is a national opportunity to build a sustainable, resilient, and equitable Nigeria for current and future generations.

"In conclusion, all stakeholders are urged to engage fully, collaborate sincerely, and champion this cause. Their expertise, resources, and dedication will be the foundation of Nigeria’s success in climate action, environmental stewardship, and sustainable development. Through united efforts, Nigeria can realize its full potential in addressing climate change and securing a sustainable future."

Former Kaduna Senator, Shehu Sani Buys N2m Worth Of Books From Kano’s Historic Zamani Bookshop To Support Public Schools

Former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has purchased books worth N2 million from Zamani Bookshop in Kano for distribution to public primary schools across the state.

Zamani Bookshop, located on Church Road, Sabon Gari, Kano, was established in 1950 and remains one of Nigeria’s oldest surviving bookstores. Once a popular hub for readers and intellectuals in Northern Nigeria, the iconic store has recently faced low patronage due to changes in reading habits and the rise of digital alternatives.

Speaking during his visit to the bookshop on Friday, Mr. Sani said the gesture was aimed at supporting the historic business and honoring its late founder, Pa Abraham Amutsan, whom he described as a pioneer in promoting education in the region.

“This bookshop, founded in 1950, has stood resilient for 75 years. Supporting Zamani Bookshop means supporting history, legacy, and resilience,” Sani said.

“Though I’m not from Kano, this bookshop has become part of our collective heritage. Thousands of students and readers have benefited from its shelves over the decades.”

Mr. Sani, who is also an author and activist, said the move is intended to encourage reading culture among schoolchildren and revive the traditional book trade. He stressed the importance of preserving knowledge centers even as the world becomes more digitized.

He praised the current management of Zamani Bookshop for keeping the business alive, despite the challenges that have forced many similar outlets to shut down.

“While many bookshops have disappeared, either due to the death of their founders or a shift in business focus, Zamani has survived. I commend the family and management for preserving this educational treasure,” he added.

He also advised the bookshop to incorporate modern technology into its operations to remain relevant.

To ensure proper distribution of the books, Mr. Sani said he has partnered with Zainab Nasir, Executive Director of the Youth Society for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases and Social Vices (YOSPIS).

In her remarks, Ms. Nasir expressed gratitude for the gesture and assured that the books would be distributed fairly and in line with the needs of public schools. She emphasized the continued relevance of printed books, noting that many valuable texts are not yet available online.

“We must encourage young people to read physical books as well as digital materials. This initiative will help revive the reading culture among students,” she said.

She also urged other well-meaning Nigerians to emulate Mr. Sani by supporting local bookstores and investing in public education.

The manager of Zamani Bookshop, Raphael Ogbodobri, also thanked Mr. Sani for the support, describing it as timely and inspiring.

“We are grateful for this support. It motivates us to keep going despite the challenges. We’ll also work on adopting technology, as advised,” he said.

Mr. Ogbodobri added that he would collaborate with Ms. Nasir to ensure the books selected align with the Kano State education curriculum. He called on the general public to support bookstores to prevent the collapse of the local book industry.

Kaduna Government Unveils New Homes, Support Facilities For Victims Of Banditry

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has commissioned the first phase of the Qatar Sanabil Project, an initiative aimed at rehabilitating victims of banditry through the provision of homes, schools, healthcare, and empowerment tools.

At the inauguration ceremony on Tuesday, Governor Sani described the project as one of the most significant moments of his life. He said the event went beyond politics and symbolized a deep personal connection to the pain and suffering of families affected by insecurity across the state.

"Standing amidst these newly completed homes, hand-in-hand with the brave families who have endured unimaginable loss, I say this is the most consequential moment of my life," he said.

The Qatar Sanabil Project is a partnership between the Kaduna State Government and Qatar Charity. It includes newly built houses, a fully equipped school, a health clinic, and a shopping mall—all designed to help rebuild the lives of those displaced by violence.

Sani emphasized that the project is not just about infrastructure, but a solemn act of healing and restoration.

"This is not merely a ceremony. It is a vow honored, a covenant fulfilled. We are telling every widow, every orphan, every displaced soul: you are not forgotten. You are seen. You are honored."

In addition to housing and social infrastructure, the initiative also provides various empowerment tools such as tricycles, cargo bikes, salon kits, grinding machines, and welding equipment. These are intended to help affected individuals rebuild their livelihoods and regain economic independence.

"True empowerment lies in enabling people to stand on their feet with pride and purpose," the governor said.

He praised Qatar Charity for its commitment to humanitarian causes and said the partnership is built on shared values of compassion, dignity, and social justice.

"This collaboration is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about expanding opportunity and restoring hope."

Governor Sani also expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Security Adviser, and other key security personnel for their support in stabilizing the state, especially through the Kaduna Peace Model, a locally driven approach to conflict resolution and community engagement.

He gave special thanks to Ambassador Ali Bin Ghanem Al-Hajri, the Qatari envoy to Nigeria, and Sheikh Hamdi Abdu, Qatar Charity's Country Director, for their roles in bringing the project to life.

Looking ahead, Sani assured the people of Kaduna that this is only the beginning. He said future phases will include more housing, educational facilities, clinics, and support services.

"Phase One is just the foundation. More homes will rise. More children will go to school. More families will rebuild their lives. This journey of reconstruction is just beginning."

The full Qatar Sanabil Project is expected to benefit over 500,000 vulnerable people across Kaduna State.
