The Government of Niger State is set to host a Green Economy Summit on October 24-25, 2023, in Minna, the State capital.
It will coincide with the United Nations Day as well as the climate advocacy group, 350.org’s, International Day for Climate Action, to underscore the resolve to partake in achieving collective global goals through responsible local action.
The Executive Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umar Bago, while recognising the potential for Niger State to play a significant role in championing a national green economy initiative, is organising this Green Economy Summit to reposition the State for sustainable socioeconomic development, and to boldly make Niger State the green investment hub of Nigeria.
In a statement, Alh. Abubakar Usman, Secretary to the State Government, said the summit will bring together participants including policymakers, industry leaders, academia, local and international sector experts, NGOs, international development partners, investors, and local communities, to pave the way for an inclusive green economy and a sustainable future for the state.
The Summit’s theme will be Sustainable Future: Harnessing Green Assets and Innovation for Niger State’s Prosperity.
The theme conveys the Niger State Governor’s holistic vision for the State’s future, one that embraces sustainability as a core principle and recognises the untapped potential of its green assets. It positions innovation as a key enabler in unlocking the state’s green economy potential and achieving prosperity for all its residents. By adopting this theme, the Niger State Green Economy Summit aims to inspire collaboration, knowledge sharing, and concrete actions that will lead to a greener, more sustainable, and prosperous future for the state and its people.
