The United Kingdom has announced a £19 million funding package to support the development of climate-resilient health and education facilities in Nigeria.
The announcement was made during the joint inauguration of 84 upgraded schools and healthcare centres under the Climate Resilient Infrastructure for Basic Services (CRIBS) initiative, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health, Kano and Jigawa State Governments, and UNICEF.
CRIBS, launched in April 2024, is a pioneering programme designed to safeguard essential services from the growing threats of climate change. Nigeria is ranked second globally in climate-related risks to children, with millions affected annually by floods, droughts and extreme heat.
So far, 39 primary healthcare centres and 45 schools across Kano and Jigawa have been renovated through targeted climate adaptation measures. The model is now being scaled up to Bauchi, Enugu, Gombe, Kaduna and Katsina States.
