The Federal Government has inaugurated a 10-man steering committee for the implementation of the Programme for Integrated Development and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Niger Basin (PIDACC/NB) project. Adamu said that the committee would also provide guidance in ensuring the achievement of the project development objectives. “The PIDACC project is to strengthen the resilience of the Niger River’s ecosystems and population through sustainable natural resource management. “We must therefore encourage our Government, the Niger River Basin Authority, and co-financial partners by ensuring that adequate funding is made available for project implementation’’. Musa listed the agencies as including the Anambra-Imo, Upper Niger, Upper Benue and Sokoto-Rima River Basin Development Agencies.
