President Bola Tinubu will on Wednesday depart Abuja for Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to attend the COP28 Climate Summit, also known as the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP28).
At the World Leaders’ Summit, which takes place on December 1 and 2, 2023, under the theme “Unite, Act, and Deliver,” President Tinubu will deliver a national statement, highlighting Nigeria’s stance on various thematic issues, including renewable energy and climate financing.
Presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, said President Tinubu will maximize the opportunity afforded by the platform to advocate increased financial and technical support for developing nations while reminding developed countries of their public pledge to provide $100 billion annually for support to localized initiatives to address climate change-related challenges.
The statement added that President Tinubu, who will be accompanied by senior government officials, is expected to return to Abuja at the conclusion of the summit.
