Concerns voiced on social media highlight apprehension over Nigeria sending 1411 delegates to COP28 in Dubai.
Critics argue it’s a misuse of public funds and question the lack of transparency in the selection process. Some suggest the large delegation may not yield tangible results, emphasizing the need for more prudent use of public funds.
Users express disappointment and anger, with some linking the focus on COP28 to potential financial challenges for national projects.
While acknowledging Nigeria’s significant stake in climate action, skepticism remains regarding the delegation’s size and its cost to the country.
