The Federal Government, through the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, has expressed confidence that Nigeria can meet its target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060, saying the goal remains attainable despite the challenges involved.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ workshop on renewable energy and environmental sustainability in Abuja, a NASENI representative, Edith Aja, said the country’s transition to cleaner energy sources aligned with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development.
According to a statement made available to our correspondent on Saturday, the workshop, held on Tuesday, was organised by AtoB Technology Limited in collaboration with NASENI.
Aja said achieving the country’s net-zero target would require sustained commitment from government, businesses and citizens, but maintained that the objective was realistic.
“Different countries have set different timelines for achieving net-zero emissions. Countries such as China, India and others have established their own targets and implementation strategies.
