President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday introduced the Climate-Resilient Livelihoods Empowerment Programme for Displaced Populations (CLEP4DPS), a 10-year initiative worth $250 million aimed at restoring livelihoods and empowering Nigerians displaced by climate-related disasters.
Highlighting Nigeria’s vulnerability, Tinubu recalled the 2022 floods that affected over 4.4 million people and displaced 2.4 million across more than 30 states.
Tinubu called for stronger international cooperation, stressing that no country can tackle climate-induced mobility alone.
He reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to inclusive partnerships, evidence-based policymaking, and sustained dialogue within the Rabat Process.
He expressed appreciation to partners including Switzerland, the European Union, and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development, noting that their support would help link climate action, migration governance, and sustainable development.
