Nigeria is positioning itself to become West Africa's hub for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and high-integrity carbon markets.

At the High-Level Meeting on the Implementation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in Nigeria, the Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), Dr. Omotenioye Majekodunmi, LLM, BL, DPP HC, joined the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, the Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), H.E. Gautier Mignot, Ambassador of the European Union to Nigeria and ECOWAS, alongside representatives of ICAO, EASA, government institutions, development partners and industry leaders to advance Nigeria's sustainable aviation agenda.

The Director-General underscored that Sustainable Aviation Fuel is rapidly becoming the currency of a decarbonised aviation sector, offering Nigeria a strategic opportunity to attract green investment, strengthen energy security, diversify the economy and create quality jobs in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.

As Nigeria's apex climate institution and Designated National Authority for carbon markets, the NCCC is strengthening the governance and integrity needed to support CORSIA, mobilise climate finance and build investor confidence.

"Our ambition should not simply be to consume Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Our ambition should be to produce it, certify it, finance it and ultimately export it." — Dr. Tenioye Majekodunmi.

Together, Nigeria is building a credible, investable and internationally recognised Sustainable Aviation Fuel ecosystem for a cleaner, more competitive and prosperous future.

NCCC and ICAT Advance Nigeria's Climate Transparency Through Landmark ICAT Phase II Outputs

The National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), in collaboration with the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT), convened the Final Validation and Close-out Workshop of the ICAT Nigeria Phase II Project on the Set-up of Sectoral Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) Systems.

In her keynote address, the Director-General of the NCCC, Dr. Tenioye Majekodunmi, LLM, BL, DPP HC, described climate transparency as a strategic national asset for evidence-based decision-making, climate finance, carbon markets, and the implementation of Nigeria's NDC 3.0 and Net-Zero ambition.

Dr. Henning Wuester, Director of ICAT, commended Nigeria's progress in strengthening its climate transparency framework, reaffirming that robust MRV systems are essential for effective climate action, investor confidence, and opportunities under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

The workshop validated key ICAT Phase II outputs, including the NDC Sectoral GHG Inventory Guidelines, IPPU Sector Review Report, National Inventory Data Flow Systems and Architecture, GHG Emissions Projections Report, Renewable Feed-in Tariff GHG Impact Assessment, Sectoral Institutional Arrangements Report, and the National GHG Inventory Management System Guidebook—critical tools for institutionalizing Nigeria's climate transparency system.

These achievements support the climate and sustainable development priorities of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, positioning Nigeria for green growth, enhanced climate governance, and increased investment.

🇳🇬 Nigeria takes the stage at the Annual GST–NDC Dialogue, at the SB 64 June meetings, Bonn, Germany presenting NDC 3.0 on behalf of Africa.

Nigeria's updated climate commitment is built on three pillars: Resilience, Equitable Growth, and Just Transition.

With a target to reduce 347.9 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, Nigeria is charting a pathway toward sustainable development, climate resilience, and its Net-Zero by 2060 goal.

NDC 3.0 reflects the power of collaboration, innovation, and inclusive stakeholder engagement in driving ambitious climate action.

Together, we are turning climate commitments into meaningful action for people, prosperity, and the planet.
