Nigeria Commits to Global Climate Action, Says Onuigbo

At the 35th anniversary ceremony of the Global Legislators Organisation held at the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, Sam Onuigbo, a former Nigerian lawmaker, assured that Nigeria will continue to support international efforts aimed at mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable energy transitions. Onuigbo, who became the first Nigerian and first African to lead the global network of legislators focused on climate action, highlighted the organization's role in advancing climate governance worldwide.

He noted that the organization has spent 35 years supporting parliamentarians in developing policies to address climate change. Onuigbo praised the contributions of parliamentarians from Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific in advancing global climate action and acknowledged the facilitation of Nigeria's involvement by former Senate President Bukola Saraki.

He committed to strengthening parliamentary engagement in climate action and emphasized the need for collaboration among legislators, governments, and civil society to effectively tackle environmental challenges.
