89% of Nigerians Support Methane Emission Cuts, Report Finds

A survey commissioned by the Global Methane Hub and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication found that 89% of Nigerian adults support measures to cut methane emissions, up 17 percentage points since 2024. Poor water quality was respondents’ leading immediate environmental concern at 67%, followed by flooding and access to safe drinking water at 60% each. Global Methane Hub CEO Marcelo Mena said reducing leaks, venting and flaring in the oil and gas sector could curb pollution and global warming, while Tengi George-Ikoli of the Natural Resource Governance Institute called for stronger enforcement of environmental rules and accountability.
