Aare Osifeso, who made these remarks during a chat with newsmen at Ota, Ogun State, last weekend, noted that President Tinubu’s recent speech at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, which emphasised sustainability and climate change responsibility signals a paradigm shift for the country, thereby indicating that a new era is upon the nation.
He especially lauded the president’s speech at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, which showcased his extraordinary leadership skills and strategic vision for Nigeria.
The renowned surveyor stressed that the president’s emphasis on climate action and sustainable development in his speech at the global event reflects the vision of a government dedicated to uplifting the nation and ensuring its future prosperity that many Nigerians had longed for.
Aare Osifeso stated that President Tinubu’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060 is a target and a promise to future generations.
