Climatologists and environmental experts have praised Kaduna Governor Uba Sani for appointing Yusuf Idris Amoke as his Special Assistant on Climate Change. They see the action of the Kaduna governor as timely and in line with global trends.
According to experts, this historic appointment has garnered praise as it marks a significant milestone in the Northern Region and a proactive step towards addressing climate change and environmental preservation.
A Nigerian science climatologist, Mr. Nurudden Bello, the Director of African Climate Reporters, expressed his gratitude to Governor Mallam Uba Sani, stating that the appointment was well-deserved and underscored the governor’s commitment to tackling environmental issues and global warming.
Bello highlighted Honourable Yusuf Amoke’s specialisation in environmental protection and praised his qualifications for the role.
Furthermore, Bello emphasised that Amoke’s appointment as the first Special Assistant to the Governor on Climate Change in Northern Nigeria since the nation’s inception is a historic moment.
“The decision has positioned Kaduna State as a trailblazer in proactively addressing climate change,” he added.
Mr Nurudden Bello went on to commend Amoke’s involvement in the establishment of Green Climate Africa, where he has been organising gatherings of environmentalists, geologists, and other experts to address waste pollution and marine life preservation.
“These initiatives align with the global effort to protect the environment and combat climate change.”
Similarly, the African Institutes of Waste Management and Environmental Studies congratulated Governor Mallam Uba Sani on the appointment.
The Registrar of the institute, Dr Abdullateef Taye, pledged full support for the newly appointed climate change aide and assured that the institute would work tirelessly to assist in achieving the state’s climate-related goals.
Dr Taye also called for collaboration between environmental activists, including NGOs and civil society organisations, to join hands with the state government in making Kaduna State a model of sustainability.
This collective effort aligns with the broader goal of “going green” and creating a more sustainable and environmentally conscious society.
