During the international summit, the state delegation met with global stakeholders on the sidelines of the event.  

In a press statement issued to LEADERSHIP by the director-general, Press Affairs, Government House, Gombe, Ismaila Uba Misilli, he said the presentation made by Gombe at the Nigeria Pavilion centred on the theme “Mobilising Climate Finance for Innovative Adaptation Themes,” where the state shared experiences, challenges, and sought for collaborations to address environmental concerns in the state as well as proposed solutions related to climate change.

The state also highlighted its steps towards innovative financing mechanisms and its plan to raise its first green bond at the sub-national level, which is a demonstration of a forward-thinking approach to financing climate-related projects.

Represented by key government officials, led by the commissioner for water, environment and forest resources, Mohammed Saidu Mohammed Fawu, the delegation engaged with global stakeholders to showcase the successes achieved under Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s leadership in environmental restoration and sustainability.

Fawu emphasised the potential of green bond as a sustainable financing mechanism, adding that Gombe aims to attract investors and build credibility for its green bond to pave the way for the realisation of crucial projects focused on adaptation, resilience, and emissions reduction.

He said the initiative is in line with the state’s commitment to mitigating climate change impacts, as evidenced by the conversion of street lights to solar power, which he described as a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions.

He said Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s administration has made environmental management a top priority, citing the state’s flagship project, the Gombe Goes Green (3G).

The commissioner said, “Through the 3G initiative, the government is planting approximately one million trees annually, reclaiming over 364 hectares of degraded land and actively combating gully erosion.

“Also, the Network-11-100 road revolution project has seen the construction of over 700km of roads, signifying a holistic approach to environmental restoration and infrastructure development”, he added. 

The commissioner of trade, industry and tourism, Nasiru Mohammed Aliyu and the director-general of Research and Documentation in the Government House, Dr Muazu Shehu, who also spoke, pointed out the commitment of Governor Inuwa Yahaya to sustainability and environmental restoration, particularly emphasizing the need for partnerships that will strengthen the state’s environmental sustainability plan which is an integral part of its development agenda.

The delegation led by commissioners Muhammad Sa’idu Fawu and Nasiru Aliyu, also had Alhaji Kabiru Tsoho, director general of the Debt Management Office (DMO) and Dr Mu’azu Shehu from the Research and Documentation Directorate, among other officials.
