Nigeria: Climate Action Platform For Africa Names Osinbajo Chair Board Of Directors

Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been named the new Chair of the Board of Directors for the Climate Action Platform for Africa.

Osinbajo will assist CAP-A with “the next phase of our growth and our mission of unlocking Africa’s potential as a global hub for climate action,” the platform said in a statement.

The statement issued by the CAP-A Founder James Mwangi read partly, “We are deeply honoured to have Prof. Osinbajo join the CAP-A Board of Directors as Chair to assist with the next phase of our growth and our mission of unlocking Africa’s potential as a global hub for climate action.

“His vast experience and passion for transforming African countries’ economies in harmony with climatic needs will be invaluable to CAP-A’s mission, especially coming out of the inaugural Africa Climate Summit that made a strong push for accelerated climate action.”

Accepting the offer, Osinbajo, in a short statement on his Instagram page Tuesday, wrote, “Thrilled to announce my acceptance of the offer to lead CAP-A as the new Chair of the Board of Directors! I am excited to drive climate action across Africa alongside an incredible team. 🌍🌱”
