Stanley Nkwocha writes about the leading role Nigeria is playing in the Climate Change Narrative in the African continent and cited the recent state visit of Vice President Kashim Shettima to Ethiopia during which he launched the country’s Green Legacy Initiative.
Nigeria’s pride of place as a ‘big brother’ nation in Africa derives basically from its external relations, with primary focus on the African continent. As a regional power within the West African sub-region and the ‘Giant of Africa’ on the continent, its role involves several foundational goals, including political stability, unity, and mutual coexistence among African states, as well as the continent’s socio-economic stability.
This crucial role was reaffirmed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, where Vice President Kashim Shettima went on a state visit starting Thursday, June 26, 2025.
