<p>Mrs George-Ikoli said Nigeria needed a credible and unified approach to measuring methane emissions.</p>
<p>She explained that accurate measurement was critical to tracking progress and ensuring effective reductions.</p>
<p>“A common baseline and robust measurement standards are essential for tracking progress and building trust,” she said.</p>
<p>The NRGI official stressed that companies must move beyond disclosure to actual methane management.</p>
<p>“Companies should not only disclose emissions, but actively manage and reduce them,” she added.</p>
