Samuel Onuigbo, a member of the house of representatives, says the federal government has not handled the implementation of the Climate Change Act as expected.
President Muhammadu Buhari signed the climate change bill into law last November.
The law provides for the establishment climate change council to implement the framework for mainstreaming climate change actions — climate change fund, carbon budget, climate change action plan, climate change education and engagement and climate solutions — in the country.
Speaking during an online town hall meeting, Onuigbo — who sponsored the bill — expressed concern over the non-establishment of the climate change council.
