Abia State Governor, Alex Otti.

The Abia State Government has concluded work on its Climate Change Policy, a move aimed at positioning the state to access international climate financing and strengthen efforts to tackle environmental challenges.

The Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Alex Otti.

Kanu said the policy document was awaiting the governor’s approval before becoming operational.

According to him, the policy will provide a comprehensive framework for addressing climate-related challenges and open up access to global climate funding.
