The position of a commissioner at the state Environment Ministry has been vacant since then.
RINNGOS President, Dr. Mina Ogbanga, in a statement sent to NatureNews, said that “this is a step in the right direction and we look forward to an immediate action in the further restoration of the Environment.”
She also urged that strategic plans to ensure sustainability of Environment should be put in place as global leaders prepare to attend COP27 in Egypt this November.
