Restructuring will help states tackle climate change, say Anyaoku, Sanwo-Olu
Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku and Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday said a restructured Nigeria would be better able to combat the effects of climate change.
They tasked African governments on the need to safeguard the continent’s future against the looming danger of climate change and high population. He joined Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by Deputy Governor Mr Olufemi Hamzat, in urging the government to consider restructuring the country in a way that makes it more efficient.
Sanwo-Olu also observed that Lagos, being largely three metres above sea level, was in the eye of the climate change storm. “We had television before France in this country, so, we’ve done it, but we did it then as a region, where everyone used their advantages. But we cancelled that, so, it’s a joke. Until we go back, that’s the truth, until we go back to everybody getting his own advantage. For instance, the port is in Lagos, all the transportation troubles affect Lagos, but we don’t have any control.
