Against the backdrop of the numerous challenges of environmental hazard, pulverization and profound degradation of our ecosystem and biodiversity, President Tinubu's administration has certainly picked a man for the job.

Malam Balarabe will certainly add value to the nations Environmental sector knowing his immense degree of experience and capacity in various fields. The topic on environment has covered wider national and global aspects which is so important that it can not be left in the hand of a novice. In the spirit of the "Renewed Hope Agenda" the Minister will definitely bring to bear his exceptional talents into the mandate of the Ministry which are: Deforestation and Desertification, Pollution and Water Management, Climate Change and Clean Energy, Flood Erosion and Coastal Management, Shoreline protection and other remotes environmental issues.The challenges might be enormous but the Minister is poised to giving nigerians a run for  their money. 

It is equally important to understand that the government has established the eight points agenda which defines its trajectory and road map, the Ministry of Environment is expected to play a strategic role in its execution. Mr President understands that environmental sustainability is vital to a nation as its directly  affect most of the quality of our collective existence, decided to deploy a seasoned technocrat to oversee the Ministry and the establishment of an interface with global environmental best practice. 
It is expected that some critical initiatives of the Ministry that are ongoing or halted will be reviewed or revisited by the Honorable Minister, Malam Balarabe Abbas.

Projects like erosion and watershed management, Clean Energy Initiative and the strategic Ogoni clean-up will most likely be addressed diligently by the Minister. Certainly, with people like Malam Balarabe Abbas in any government, value, delivery and patriotism will be added to its shared value and vision.
