Yahaya disclosed this on Monday while presenting the state’s 2024 budget before the Gombe State House of Assembly.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that green bonds are fixed-income, liquid financial instruments used to raise funds dedicated to climate mitigation, adaptation and other environment-friendly projects.

The governor said that his administration, over the last four years, had demonstrated commitment towards tackling the state’s environmental challenges and restoring the forests in the state that had been depleted.

“In our first administration, we set up a taskforce to restore our grazing and forest reserves.
