Press Release: On the Leadership Transition at the Nigeria’s National Council on Climate Change (NCCC)
At AGESI, we believe that visionary leadership is the backbone of transformative climate action. With this ethos, we extend our warmest commendation to Dr. Nkiruka Madueke, whose tenure as the second Director-General of the NCCC was marked by unwavering commitment, strategic depth, and collaborative integrity.
Dr. Madueke built upon the foundation laid by pioneer DG Dr. Salisu Dahiru, and her stewardship guided the Council through critical moments of growth. Her work to institutionalize climate resilience, advance multilateral engagements, and uphold transparency continues to influence the fabric of Nigeria’s climate governance.
As she transitions onward, we recognize her legacy as one that has strengthened the NCCC’s voice across Africa and beyond. We at AGESI remain deeply grateful for her service.
✨ In the spirit of progress, we celebrate the appointment of Mrs. Omotenioye Majekodunmi as the third Director-General of the NCCC. A dynamic expert in climate finance and environmental law, Mrs. Majekodunmi embodies the kind of innovative leadership and global acumen that is essential for driving Nigeria’s just transition and continental climate ambitions.
🌱 AGESI proudly reaffirms its commitment to partnering with the NCCC under her leadership, with a shared vision to:
- Unlock equitable climate finance opportunities for Africa’s green entrepreneurs
- Accelerate the deployment of renewable energy infrastructure
- Champion data-driven, inclusive policy frameworks for climate action
- Empower women and youth as climate trailblazers and changemakers
- Amplify regional cooperation for a sustainable, low-carbon future
Together, we will amplify our impact, deepen our collaborations, and build a resilient Africa that thrives in harmony with its environment.
With optimism, solidarity, and purpose,
Signed: Eugene Itua, Ph.D – Executive Director, Africa Green Economy and Sustainability Initiative (AGESI)
