The Niger state government has produced its first Green Economy Blueprint, a strategic document outlining the visionary roadmap to the development of the state.
The governor of the state, Mohammed Umaru Bago, stated this Tuesday at the first Niger state Green Economy Summit held in Minna.
He said, “We are using this summit to present a draft to stakeholders for their review and input, after which it shall be formally launched and applied in the preparation of our appropriation proposals for 2024 and beyond.”
He stated that the blueprint is a comprehensive guide which detailed the administration’s vision, objectives, strategies, and actions, designed to transform the state into a beacon of green prosperity.
“Furthermore, our vision includes a state boasting state-of-the-art infrastructure, realised through a deliberate urban renewal strategy. This encompasses the development of quality road networks and efficient rail systems, modern urban transportation options,” he said.
He described the summit as a testament to the remarkable and collective resolve of government to confront and address the pressing challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation.
