The Minister of State for Environment, Mrs Sharon Ikeazor, has
condemned the bush burning practice in Nigeria as it contributes to
climate change.
According to her, climate change results in excessive heat, drought,
rising sea levels and unhealthy climate conditions.
Mrs Ikeazor spoke to newsmen, in Lagos on the sidelines of a Climate
Change Conference in Lagos State.
She said the enforcement of extant environmental laws by states will
go a long way in arresting bush burning.
The theme of the conference was “New Deal for Nature and People,
Nigerian Businesses for Nature”.
