Abdulmajid Abubakar: A Farmer Turned to Climate Activist

My story is the story of thousands of youths in the global south who try to bring food to the table in a lawful way without engaging in social vices. Every blessed year in my country Nigeria particularly my dear state Jigawa thousands of households lost their means of livelihood, children becomes orphan at a very early age due to the devastating effect of floods, girls and women are exposed to gender based-violence, food productions are declining and the government spends huge amount of money in rehabilitating the properties damaged as a result of the disasters, diseases are wide spreading, and children are left vulnerable to social vices. My greatest concern however is for the future of the generation unborn. Typically when people think something bad is about to happened they take action. I was convinced I have to make impact, I have to give back to the society, I believe doing that will protect the environment from the adverse effect of Climate Change.
