The Senator representing Ondo South District, Jimoh Ibrahim has defended the number of Nigerian delegates at the ongoing COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, said the number of delegates was not even enough.
He said, “Funding (over) 400 people to a conference like this is too small. You may want to host the conference sometimes in future.”
He said the number of delegates had an influence on knowledge sharing at the event, adding that Nigeria was suffering from the impact of environmental pollution.
Ibrahim said President Bola Tinubu signed many multimillion-dollar bilateral deals at the summit in Nigeria’s interest.
The lawmaker maintained that Tinubu wouldn’t be taken seriously by the international community if he was in Dubai with a lean delegation.
