"Nigeria is indeed a critical stakeholder when it comes to climate change. Thanks to our population-induced emission of CO2 gases.

"However, we need to be cautious on decisions to quit organic fuels --we are one of the major producers of crude oil globally. So, while we support transition to cleaner sources of energy, we should not shoot ourselves in the foot by demarketing our only commodity. May God bless Nigeria, Ameen.
