FG To Reduce COP28 Delegates, Last Year Nigeria had 1,411 delegates in Dubai
The presidency has announced plans to cut down the budget for the upcoming 29th edition of the conference of parties (COP29).
The climate change meeting will be hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan from November 11 to 22.
Last year, Nigeria had 1,411 delegates at the COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), making it the country with the highest number of participants from Africa alongside China.
The long list of delegates at COP28 sparked public outcry, with many questioning Nigeria’s representatives’ effectiveness at the event.
Speaking with State House correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, said the presidency has decided to cut down the budget for COP29 by N10 billion.
He said President Bola Tinubu, in response to the public outcry over the size and cost of Nigeria’s delegation to COP28, ordered a comprehensive audit of the country’s participation.
