Overall,
the climate in Nigeria plays a significant role in the country's economy, as
agriculture is a primary industry. As a result, the seasonal fluctuations in
temperature and rainfall can have a major impact on crop yields and the overall
wellbeing of the population. Additionally, these fluctuations can lead to food
insecurity and water scarcity, exacerbating existing economic and societal
issues. Consequently, in order to address these challenges, the Nigerian
government and other stakeholders are taking steps to combat climate change.
Through implementing various measures, they aim to reduce the effects of
climate change on the Nigerian population as well as the economy. These measures will help Nigeria grow as a country as well as the Nigerian society. Besides this, it also helps preserve Nigeria's valuable eco systems.
