In
fulfilment of the desire of groups and individuals for Nigeria to
support the international mercury treaty, the country, alongside other
countries, has signed the world’s first international mercury treaty.
The treaty will take effect once
ratified by 50 countries. The United Nations Environment Programme said
it expected this will take about four years.
The treaty was signed in Minamata and
Kumamoto, Japan, on Friday, where the country’s Permanent Representative
in Nairobi, Mr. Akin Oyateru, led the delegation and signed on behalf
of the country.
