National Park advocates carbon reduction for climate action

The National Park Service (NPS) has assured Nigerians of its ongoing efforts to mitigate climate change through carbon reduction.
Dr Ibrahim Goni, the Conservator-General (C-G) of the NPS, made this commitment in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Wednesday.
The C-G stated that the approval for the establishment of 10 new national parks in the country would contribute to carbon reduction.
“The seven national parks provide a total area of vegetation of 20,000 square kilometres, and we are confident that it would sequestrate carbon by 4.8 million parts.
“This means that with the introduction of the new 10 national parks, carbon dioxide is going to be sequestrated”.
Goni further advised residents to engage in afforestation to reclaim lands that have been degraded due to erosion.
He commended the Federal Government for its efforts in carbon mediation and for planting 25 million trees to cushion the effects of climate change in the country.
Goni also expressed satisfaction with the federal government’s tree-planting efforts, describing it as a huge step towards conserving the country’s natural resources.
“In 2020, the federal government approved the establishment of 10 new national parks”.
NAN reports that the 10 new national parks are located in Alawa National Park in Niger, Apoi and Edumenun National Parks in Bayelsa, Galgore National Park in Kano state, and Hadejia Wetland National Park in Jigawa.
Others are Kampe National Park in Kwara, Kogo National Park in Katsina, Marhi National Park in Nasarawa state, Oba Hill National Park in Osun and Pandam National Park in Plateau.

FG unveils national environmental battery control regulations

The Federal Government has unveiled the National Environmental (Battery Control) Regulations 2024 to prevent and minimise pollution and waste emanating from batteries in Nigeria.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the regulations seek to ensure environmentally sound management of used batteries in the country.
The Minister of Environment, Balarabe Lawal, stated this at the unveiling of the document on Thursday in Abuja.
He said that the regulations also sought to address the challenges of waste battery management in Nigeria.
Lawal said it was in line with the provisions and recommendations of the Basel and Bamako Conventions, and other related guidelines for the Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) of hazardous waste.
The minister was represented by Mr Usman Bokani, Director, Pollution and Public Health, National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA).
He said that batteries, particularly those used in renewable energy, telecommunication and automotive sectors, were critical to Nigeria’s economic development.
Lawal said that batteries contained hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and lithium amongst others.
He said batteries when improperly disposed of, could lead to severe health conditions including cancer, kidney damage and neurological disorders.
