  • Southern Nigeria is losing between 30 to 40 meters of land to coastal erosion every year, a crisis that demands urgent intervention, Nigeria's Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Uche Nnaji,

The article from MSN discusses the severe issue of coastal erosion in The Gambia, where the Minister of Environment, Climate Change and Natural Resources, Rohey John Manjang, highlighted that the country is losing approximately 40 meters of land annually due to this phenomenon. This erosion is exacerbated by climate change, leading to significant land loss along the coastline. The minister emphasized the need for immediate action to mitigate the impacts, which include not only the loss of land but also the displacement of communities and damage to infrastructure. Efforts are being made to address this through coastal management strategies, but the urgency of the situation calls for more robust and immediate interventions to protect the coastline and the livelihoods dependent on it.
