 World’s Youngest Reigning Monarch , King Oyo, Dies at 34 King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, the traditional ruler of Uganda’s Tooro Kingdom who became the world’s youngest reigning monarch after ascending the throne at three, has died at the age of 34. The monarch reportedly died on Thursday, with the Prime Minister of the Tooro Kingdom, Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki, announcing his death on Friday. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

Reacting to the development, Akiiki described the monarch’s death as a major loss to the royal family and the people of Tooro. He urged members of the kingdom to remain united and calm while mourning the traditional ruler.

 NIGERIA HIGHLIGHTS CLIMATE, RESTORATION, AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY COMMITMENTS AT UNEA‑7 IN NAIROBI 


Nigeria’s Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, has outlined the country’s environmental priorities and progress at the Seventh United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA‑7) in Nairobi, calling for global solidarity, predictable finance and practical support to turn commitments into action.


Speaking on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Minister Lawal said Nigeria’s updated climate pledge—its Enhanced Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0)—commits the country to a 20% unconditional emissions reduction and up to 47% with international support by 2030, while maintaining a net‑zero target by 2060. He also noted recent domestic reforms including the operationalization of a National Carbon Market Framework, issuance of the third Sovereign Green Bond, and expanded renewable energy deployments such as solar mini‑grids, wind installations and clean cooking solutions.


On land and ecosystem restoration, Nigeria has set a target to restore 19 million hectares by 2030. Lawal highlighted flagship programmes — including the Agro‑Climatic Resilience in Semi‑Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) project, the National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) and the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) — that are restoring watersheds and building resilience in drought‑affected and flood‑prone areas. He reported more than 10 million trees planted, 25 million seedlings distributed and 978,235 hectares of degraded land restored, in addition to over 263 completed flood and erosion control projects and strengthened early‑warning systems. Coastal protection measures are also being scaled up to address sea‑level rise and shoreline erosion.


Minister Lawal outlined Nigeria’s efforts to protect biodiversity — including restoring degraded forests, strengthening protected areas, and enforcing anti‑poaching measures — guided by an updated National Biodiversity Strategy aligned with the Kunming–Montreal Framework. He also described steps toward a circular economy, such as reviewing 36 environmental regulations, institutionalizing Extended Producer Responsibility, establishing 30 e‑waste collection centres and launching a National Waste Marketplace to boost recycling and reduce plastic pollution.


Emphasizing equity and inclusion, the minister said Nigeria is investing in environmental science, data systems and transparency frameworks while empowering women, youth and vulnerable groups through green jobs and restoration initiatives. He urged UNEA participants to translate promises into measurable national action, and called for increased access to predictable climate finance, technology transfer and capacity building to support developing countries’ transitions.


Concluding his remarks, Lawal reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to a nature‑positive, climate‑resilient future and pledged continued cooperation with member states, civil society and the private sector to advance sustainable solutions for a resilient planet.
