The gathering of eminent leaders across the globe including the Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the official unveiling of the United Nations Convention for Conserving River Delta’s (UNCCRD) at the 2023 climate change conference, COP28 UAE, Dubai.
After Nigeria signed a treaty for the Climate Change Act in 2021in position to demonstrate their commitment in the issue of climate change, the 2023 COP28 conference shows a grave interest to the president and the nation because it still remains a global issue in cases like deforestation, flood and the likes of it where it affects the country’s ecosystem and human resources.
Nonetheless, business day reports that the cost of flight tickets of 590 government delegates out of the 1,411 that joined president Tinubu to the conference meeting is estimated and costing 880,000,000 naira in terms of transportation for these number of people. Moreover, the welfare for these delegates I’m Dubai would give us an idea of the starving amount it is costing Nigerians because these expenses were all made from the common wealth of Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) @OfficialPDPNig queries president Bola Tinubu @officialABAT over his conceitful delegation of 1,411 individuals to the conference of the parties (COP28) in Dubai, which is reportedly brimming with his cronies, political minions and their mistresses at huge expense to the nation. However, saying, “Tinubu-led administration is wasteful, frivolous and reckless in the application of the scarce resources of the nation, especially at a time Nigerians are yearning for prudent management of resources to achieve the desired infrastructural regeneration, job creation and revamping of the country’s economy.”
Moreover, as Peter Obi extends his approbation to Nigeria for being at the 2023 COP28 in Dubai. He also expressed his twist of sad irony where he said, “Nigerian’s contingent of COP28 totalled 1,411, same number as Chinese, migrating the highest number of its citizens out of poverty over a relatively short time. As we have kept emphasizing, we must stop waste as a tradition of our government and nation. We urgently need to cut the cost of governance and invest in productions.”
In respect to the conference meeting, president Tinubu seeks investment in alternative energy.
