WEEKEND DIGEST:
NEWS CORNER:
Statistics given by experts on Wednesday show that Nigeria could lose up to one third of its entire land area over the next 50 years -- This could see Lagos,Bayelsa & Rivers states and half of Cross River and Delta states submerged in 50 years due to Rising sea levels from warming temperatures! And advancing desert climate could render economic activities impossible in Kebbi,Sokoto,Zamfara,Yobe,Borno,Adamawa and Taraba states. The doomsday prediction can however be averted if appropriate measures are taken to tackle the growing consequences of climate change.
