According to the presidential spokesman, the decision is to avoid the embarrassment of COP28 which took place in Dubai last November.
The Federal Government says it has cut down expenditures for the upcoming COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan
Briefing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, the Special adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said that the measure would save the government about N10 billion from the 11-day event.
“Many Nigerians would recall that as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the federal government of Nigeria’s delegation to COP28 in Dubai, UAE, last year, there were some elements of outcry concerning the size of the delegation,” Ngelale said.
According to Ngelale, the cutting down of the official expenditure is necessary to avoid the embarrassment of COP28 which took place in Dubai last November.
