Will the World Bank get involved in a Nigerian carbon credit scam?
The World Bank has identified areas of investment opportunities in the clean energy development sector which can fetch Nigeria about $18 billion if explored.
The bank said there are several clean development potentials in the country, which when fully implemented could result in the reduction of Green House Gas (GHG) emission to the tune of 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
At the prevailing global carbon market price of about $12.5 per tonne, the bank said Nigeria could rake in over $1.25 billion from sales of carbon credits generated.

Very bad. So bad, in fact, that they’ll do their best to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by the year 2050.
