“Nigeria has not given in to the climate crisis. However, it is in dire straits due to the consequences and flooding caused by climate change.”
These words Oku.AzEchezonachukwu Asuzu, representative of the Nigerian Labor Congress, said in a statement.
He said that today coastal erosion and displacement caused by climate change are affecting Nigeria:
“It is for this reason that we participate in COP29. We want help from the developed countries of the North to the developing countries of the South in terms of climate financing. We need help to cover the damage in terms of adaptation to climate change, fighting against the difficulties, and we need equipment to prepare for climate disasters. “We need a plane to get people out of dangerous areas.
The representative emphasized that we must have emergency response mechanisms for them:
“A certain budget is also needed to implement preventive measures.
As people try to increase their financial responsibilities, we feel abandoned. That is why we want a financial commitment from developed countries to help countries in the South. Workers in our factories face many problems. Employers need funding in terms of opportunities. This can help employees work in a more favorable environment and increase their productivity.”
