Niger State is establishing the Niger State Carbon Market Office (NSCMO) to attract green investments and diversify its revenue. The initiative aims to position the state as a leader in Nigeria's emerging carbon ecosystem by accessing international climate finance. The government plans to implement a phased approach focusing on carbon accounting, project certification, and Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) standards. The framework involves collaboration between the Ministry of Justice and the Niger State Environmental Protection Agency to ensure legal compliance and technical accuracy.
