He also argued that Africa could become the first truly green civilisation given its status as the lowest carbon emitter and its relatively young population that could effectively deploy green manufacturing at scale.
“The importance of an enabling environment is crucial for Nigeria to play a global role in voluntary carbon markets. This is why I would like NSIA to take the lead in developing the first Nigeria Carbon Market Activation plan and look forward to engagement on the plan,” Osinbajo said at the official signing ceremony of the Carbon Vista Agreement at the State House, Abuja.
Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, disclosed this in a statement titled ‘Africa can become first truly green civilization–Osinbajo.’ The CV is an initiative to support Nigeria in meeting its net-zero targets by investing in carbon avoidance and removal projects.
A joint venture investment company established by the NSIA and Vitol is expected to drive the project. Both parties are committing an initial sum of $50m for projects such as climate-smart agriculture, green industrial technologies, waste management, etc., cutting across several sectors, including agriculture, energy, and manufacturing.
