Amazon founder Bezos praises Buhari
American billionaire and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has commended President Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership role in recovering badlands in Nigeria.
He joined Buhari, French President Emmanuel Macron, Prince Charles and the Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani at a COP 26 side event entitled “Accelerating land restoration in Africa, the case of the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative” in Scotland on Monday
‘We are fortunate to have President Buhari of Nigeria with us today,” said Bezos.
‘‘Nigeria plays a critical role in the restoration movement and has pledged to restore 4 million hectares of degraded lands.
‘‘This kind of ambition coming from Africa’s largest economy underscores just how vital this issue is.’’
The Bezos Earth Fund has a $10-billion it allocates to projects fighting climate change.
Nigeria is due to assume the leadership of Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Pan African Agency of the Great Green Wall.
‘‘I am optimistic that Africa’s ambition of restoring over 100million hectares of degraded landscape for productive agriculture is achievable,’’ Buhari said.
