Nigerians have been called upon to consolidate on the gains of the Montreal Protocol by being ozone-friendly.
The call is coming on the heels of the 2014 International Ozone Day with the theme, “Ozone protection: The mission goes on.”
In a statement jointly signed by the Executive Director of Save the Ozone, Nigeria, Mr. Ozaveshe Ade Balogun, and the Bayelsa State Coordinator of the Nigeria Association of Refrigeration and Airconditioning Practitioners, Mr. Joseph Boloukereya, noted that the success recorded by the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer has helped to redress the negative impact of climate change.
