The battle to combat climate change also demands global cooperation so that no country is left behind, since we all share the same skies.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to “direct the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mr. Abubakar Malami, (SAN) to probe the allegations on the missing, mismanaged or diverted 30million dollars Safe School Fund.
