A Courtesy Visit to Kano State Ministry of Environment and Climate Change

The Disability Projects Initiative paid a courtesy visit to the Kano State Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to formalize collaboration and strengthen institutional partnership on disability-inclusive climate action in Kano State.

During the visit, the Project Manager, Safullahi Mukhtar Sadiq, introduced the newly launched project titled “Empowering Persons with Disabilities for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Kano State, Nigeria,” funded by the Disability Rights Fund. He explained that one of the core objectives of the project is to ensure that persons with disabilities are reasonably included in Kano State’s climate change policies and programmes, given their heightened vulnerability to environmental degradation and climate-related risks.

He further emphasized that the initiative seeks to strategically position persons with disabilities within government climate policies, disaster preparedness frameworks, and broader environmental development programmes to guarantee equitable participation, protection, and access to climate adaptation and mitigation opportunities.

In his response, the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, Dahiru Muhammad Hashim, conveyed his commitment through the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Barrister Mustapha Nuraddeen Muhammad. He reiterated that the present administration under Abba Kabir Yusuf has prioritized environmental transformation across the state.

According to the Commissioner, the administration is strongly committed to enhancing vegetative cover, improving sanitation systems, promoting better air quality, and implementing sustainable climate resilience strategies for the overall benefit of citizens.

He emphasized that inclusiveness remains a critical pillar of the State’s climate agenda and assured the DPI delegation of the Ministry’s full support in aligning policies and programmes to effectively accommodate and integrate persons with disabilities.
