Nigeria’s former minister for
environment and current United Nations deputy secretary general, Amina J.
Mohammed has been identified as allegedly playing a major role in the clearance
of over 10,000 containers of illegally harvested logs of Timber.
The shipment is said to be worth
$300 million.
According to a documentary, the Chinese government in 2016 stopped the importation of the
containers.
But in early 2017 over 4,000
permits were issued by the Nigerian government, thus prompting the Chinese
government to release the illegally imported goods into China.
The permits were allegedly signed
by Mohammed, shortly before she accepted her new role at the UN.
Mohammed recently warned that
extreme weather crisis will continue to happen if actions are not taken to meet
climate change challenges.
She spoke at the opening ceremony
of the the 23rd Session of the Conference of the Parties (Pre-COP23) to the UN
Convention on Climate Change in Denarau, an island near Fiji’s third largest
city of Nadi.
“Extreme weather events show in
graphic detail the risks we all face if ambition, action and commitment are not
raised to meet the challenges of climate change.”
She said that they highlight the
urgency of building resilience, investing in adaptation and bending the
emissions curve by 2020.
“For the UN, these events also
underline the need to press forward, in line with the mandate from member
states, on the UN secretary-general’s reforms to reposition the UN Development
System to better support countries to achieve their commitments under the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development.
“These include the Sustainable
Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, all landmark agreements reached in
2015,” she said, adding that implementation of the three must go together.
