Carbon Credit expert in Nigeria, Captain Warredi Enisuoh, has highlighted Niger Delta’s potential contribution towards combating climate change through biological sequestration of greenhouse gas emissions.

Speaking on Arise Television programme recently, Enisuoh who doubles as the Executive Director, Operations and Technical Services at Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, TSSNL spoke strongly on the potential of the Niger Delta in the face of environmental degradation from continued oil exploration, and also the issue of Nigeria’s struggle with waste management, particularly e-waste.

He said it has become imperative that all hands are on deck to take advantage of the opportunities provided by Carbon Credits to address the challenges of emission.

He stated: “If you take a flight over the Niger Delta, you will definitely see from the skies that some areas on the ground, in fact, waste management and things like this are quite a bit of a problem. Some areas have been badly devastated by oil and gas exploration.

“So, at the moment, what we are trying to do is to be able to correlate images, both thermal and color images, on how we can best utilize these particular areas. In fact, some areas are very bad and the communities have had to evacuate because of the high level of carcinogens in the area.

“There’s also going to be a plan to educate the communities. We are not only talking to those who know. We are also coming up with projects to enlighten the communities” he started.

Enisuoh disclosed that plans are in the pipeline to partner with relevant government agencies and stakeholders to achieve the desired result.
