The gesture was part of the activities at the ongoing workshop organised to equip them with the requisite skills and competencies  on mitigation and adaptation strategies to address climate change and its impacts in line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs).

Climate impacts are know to have more effects on women and people with disabilities due to their vulnerabilities.

The permanent secretary, ministry of agriculture and rural development, Dr Ernest Umakhihe while declaring the workshop open, noted that the federal government remained committed to the socio-economic empowerment of people with disabilities and women in the sector through the National Gender Policy on Agriculture as a prerequisite for eradicating poverty and promoting sustainable human development.

Dr Umakhihe expressed hope that the outcome of the workshop would lead to tangible commitment and behavioural change including effective gender mainstreaming strategies through adaptation and mitigation strategies to address climate change and its impacts.
