The Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas, has stressed the Federal Government’s resolve to enhance the National De-carbonisation program (NDP) by creating the best enabling environment for industries to thrive sustainably.
He said this on Thursday during a workshop to usher in the industrial de-carbonisation program together with the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Agency (NESREA) and other partners.
He said that the launch of the NDP is a strategic step in the nation’s journey to achieving zero emissions.
“Through this interaction, we aim to facilitate the adoption of cleaner technologies, promote resource efficiency, and support industries in transition towards low-carbon operation.
“Industrial de-carbonisation requires a collaborative and multi-sector approach involving government agencies, the private sector, development partners, academia, and civil society organisations.
“This workshop serves as a vital platform for stakeholders to exchange ideas, identify challenges, and develop actionable strategies for the implementation of NDP,” he said.
Furthermore, the Minister noted that the objective of the engagement is to provide clarity on existing environmental regulations, policies, and incentives for industrial de-carbonisation.
