The Federal Government launched its Net-Zero Investment Plan in Abuja on Wednesday, setting a 2060 target for carbon neutrality while pushing for growth anchored on clean investment.

Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, said the plan outlines Nigeria’s pathway to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and positions climate action within the country’s long-term economic framework.

The launch drew senior officials, development partners and private sector players, aligning policy direction and financing interests tied to climate and infrastructure projects.
