Joined NiMet’s forum in Lagos on “Early Warnings for Climate Action.” 🌦️ Early warnings save lives—when they reach communities. Collaboration + data = resilience. 🌍 #ClimateResilience #EarlyWarningSystems #Nigeria #nimet

Honored to join the #DecarbonizingInfrastructureNG Summit as a panelist on Urban Development. I emphasized the urgent need to: 🌍 Embed climate action in urban planning 🏗️ Invest in adaptive infrastructure 🤝 Strengthen coordination & financing #ClimateAction #UrbanResilience

Strengthening Emergency Preparedness in Kogi State 🇳🇬 This week, @Oluwaseun and I led a 3-day session in Lokoja under the joint @WorldBank and @nemanigeria supported EP&R Program. #KogiState #EmergencyPreparedness #Nigeria #EP&R

Efforts like this show that preparedness is key—it saves lives, protects development gains, and builds stronger, safer communities. #WorldBank #EmergencyResponse #Nigeria #ResilientCommunities

👏 Kudos to @nemanigeria , @WorldBankAfrica & the Kogi State Government for their leadership in advancing resilience and preparedness at state level. #NEMA #Kogi #DRR

These steps are critical to ensure that preparedness is proactive, coordinated, and grounded in both community and institutional capacity. #EPandR #ClimateResilience

Key focus areas: ✅ Assess EP&R system strengths & gaps ✅ Evaluate institutional capacity & coordination ✅ Review EWS & risk communication ✅ Assess local response readiness ✅ Plan long-term resilience investments

Kogi faces recurring floods, epidemics, and other hazards. The session focused on helping the state strengthen its disaster preparedness and response systems. #DisasterRiskManagement #Resilience @kogistategovng
