AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Clean Cooking Push: Lagos State’s climate adviser backed a plan to deploy 80 million green cookstoves nationwide, saying it can cut deforestation, emissions and health risks while creating jobs. Solar Access: Nigeria’s Rural Electrification Agency flagged off a 505kW solar mini-grid in Epe and plans a further 5MW expansion to power thousands of residents. Flood Pressure in the Niger Belt: Anambra lawmakers summoned environment and works officials over worsening floods that submerged markets and farms, with calls for better drainage, refuse disposal and floodwater channelisation. Gas Flaring & Methane Accountability: CSOs urged stricter enforcement of methane rules in the Niger Delta, warning that weak implementation keeps communities exposed to pollution and health harm; separate reporting also notes gas flaring rose again, with the World Bank calling the trend “moving in the wrong direction.” Oil Infrastructure Under Strain: Pipeline operators confirmed attacks on the Trans-Niger Pipeline that triggered gas leaks, while NUPRC and the Defence Ministry agreed a non-kinetic security framework to protect assets and sustain output. Climate Finance for Nigeria: A summit in London heard Nigeria may need $350bn in climate funding to reach net-zero by 2060, with calls for global investors to back renewables and climate-smart agriculture. Lake Chad Security Link: Research warns climate stress in the Lake Chad Basin is amplifying resource scarcity and conflict, worsening displacement and food insecurity.
