Entitled, Emerging Technologies As Catalyst For Sustainable Social Economic Growth And Partnership: Opportunities For Africa, the lecture concludes the ten-month course for participants, leading to the award of the prestigious Fellow, Security Institute (fai). “I say to our leaders: if there are two things a leader must prioritise, it should be security, and improvement in access to electricity, and the country, or continent will take off. “Power is a fundamental resource that impacts every aspect of life. From hospitals to homes, and businesses, “Nigeria cannot industrialise, and our youths cannot be educated, without ensuring that our abundant natural resources are translated into plentiful, affordable, available and robust power for all. “A power ecosystem that encourages investments and unlocks our economy and creates prosperity. Development is impossible without power”. On emerging technologies, and their positive impacts on national development, Elumelu noted: “firmly believe that emerging technologies – be they artificial intelligence, biotechnology, or renewable energy – are not merely tools of convenience, but powerful engines of growth, capable of driving unparallel social and economic development across Africa. “One thing you must take away is that your job will help you to create an orderly and secure society “Technology is democratising access to electricity. It is helping to break down barriers that have long hindered progress. “By investing in digital literacy and infrastructure, we can ensure that no African is left behind in this digital revolution. “We have missed the first, second and third industrial revolutions. This fourth revolution, we must all work to make sure we do not miss our on this”. Earlier in his remarks, the Director General of the Department of State Services (DG DSS), Mr. Adeola Ajayi, charged the participants to apply the knowledge acquired, to improve the security ecosystem in their respective countries.

Bago proposes N1.2tr 2025 budget

NoneKathmandu, Nov 23: The Group of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), including Nepal have expressed reservation over the draft of climate finance provisions unveiled in the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG). The dissatisfaction has been articulated noting the draft unveiled in the 29th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) underway in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, did not explicitly manifest the agendas such as increasing the volume of climate finance. Though COP29 was scheduled to conclude on Friday itself, lobbying from the LDCs was still going on today since all the points of their 'agenda' have yet to be agreed upon. The Group of LDCs, G77 and China are currently pressing on rich and developed countries to implement the NCQG agenda. Chief of the Climate Management Division under the Ministry of Forest and Environment, Dr Sindhu Prasad Dhungana, who is attending the climate summit in Baku, said that some of the points unveiled regarding the NCQG were not clear. "There has been a demand from the LDCs and other Groups that the rich and developing countries should increase the size of climate finance to 250 billion annually after 2026. But, the draft of the NCQG has mentioned the timeline up to 2035. Is it going to increase after 2034? The draft does not say clearly stipulate how much money will be raised", he commented. Advocacy is constantly going on in the COP pilling pressure on the developed countries to expand the size of climate finance, Dhungana said, adding some positive results are expected by tonight. Dhungana shared that inclusion of NCQG in the COP agenda, especially mountain-based work, and the global stock-take process of reviewing efforts made to prevent climate change around the world in line with the Paris Agreement are some positive aspects of the COP29. In a press release, LDCs Group Chair Evans Njewa stated that financial support was not at the level of necessary ambition. "This undermines the current commitment of developed nations and does not reflect the ambition needed for global climate actions. Our group is disappointed to see that the draft does not reflect our hard work of three years". He went on saying that it does not take into account the issues of the most vulnerable countries, especially least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing countries (LIDS). The proposed climate finance volume is far below the requirement and does not ensure minimum funding for the LDC, and the draft does not include new targets to address climate-related damage and damage, the LDC said.(RSS)
