Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, made the call when a delegation from African Centre for Climate Actions and Rural Development Initiative (ACCARD) led by Freeman Elohor Oluowo in company of the African Climate Foundation (ACF), paid him a courtesy call in Abuja.

The SGF, in a statement by the director, information in the Office of SGF (OSGF), Segun Imohiosen, observed that human activities, especially burning of fossil fuels and land use changes, were the main drivers of climate change with telling effects on the environment.

He noted that the human activities through deforestation has also contributed to desertification, leading herders to migrate to areas with good vegetation, which sometimes culminate into herders-farmers clash.

He, therefore, called for sustained advocacy and sensitisation among key stakeholders to sensitise communities on the dangers posed by climate change in order to elicit the desired behavioural changes for sustainable development.
