AltBank Tasks Private Sector on Climate Leadership, Urges Business-driven Investment

The Alternative Bank, AltBank, has challenged Nigeria’s private sector to take ownership of the country’s climate agenda, warning that sustainable growth will remain elusive without business-driven investment and accountability.

The call was made yesterday at the opening of the Nigerian Environmental Summit, NESt 2026, in Abuja.

With the theme ‘Unlocking Nigeria’s Green Economy: Driving Climate Action and Sustainable Environmental Governance,’ the summit convened federal officials, state representatives, corporate leaders, and development partners to address flooding, pollution, desertification, and biodiversity loss.
