Adeleke Sacks SSA On Climate Change

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola has sacked his Senior Special Assistant on Adviser on Climate Change, Prince Moruf Adedapo.

This was as he directed the abolition of the office of Senior Special Assistant on Climate Change.

A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said the changes in the leadership of the state’s climate change team became necessary with a view to ramping up the push against the negative effect of climate change in the state.

The Governor also directed the movement of the office of the consultant to the state on climate change and renewable energy from the Ministry of Environment to the Governor’s Office.

The consultant, Prof Chinwe Obuaku will henceforth be reporting to the Governor directly as a strategy to give bite to the administration’s push to fast-track implementation of adaptation and mitigate climate actions, the statement noted.

The statement further said Governor Adeleke directed that liaison between the state government and federal agencies, as well as development partners on climate matters, should be coordinated by the state consultant.

“Stakeholders are also advised to relate with the state consultant on climate related matters as the office of SSA on Climate Change no longer exists,” the statement added.
