On Thursday, the Federal Government of Nigeria, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO), launched Phase II of the Green Transition Project in Abuja. This initiative aims to support Nigeria's transition to a low-carbon economy while creating decent jobs and promoting inclusive economic growth.
The project is funded by the French Government and will run from 2025 to 2029. Dr. Muhammad Dingyadi, the Minister of Labour and Employment, emphasized the importance of moving from policy commitments to practical implementation, urging collaboration among stakeholders to ensure the project's success.
He noted that the first phase had strengthened national capacity and facilitated social dialogue, which would be crucial for the second phase. Dr. Kamil Shoretire, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, expressed optimism about the stronger collaboration and additional funding that would help deliver greener jobs and sustainable practices in Nigeria.
