The statement said the ranking follows a regional assessment that ranked it highest among 209 sub-national governments across the 15 member states of the Economic Community of West African States.
It added that the assessment was conducted by the France-based West Africa Climate Governance Index, which evaluated climate governance across the sub-region.
The statement said that Lagos scored 86.3 out of 100, earning a Grade “A” and finishing ahead of Kano, Abuja, Greater Accra, Praia, Dakar, Porto Novo, Abidjan Autonomous District, São Filipe and Bombali.
