WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY MESSAGE FROM THE USB SECRETARY OF WATER RESOURCES
June 5, 2026
Today, June 5, 2026, marks World Environment Day.
The United States of Biafra, formerly the Republic of Biafra, is part of the global community, having met the stipulated criteria for statehood under the Montevideo Convention of 1933 and, most importantly, by virtue of our re-declaration of independence on November 29, 2024, in Lahti, Finland.
This progress has been made possible through the exceptional leadership of the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister, Her Excellency Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, as well as the dedicated and relentless efforts of our steadfast leaders, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Prime Minister H.E. Simon Ekpa Njoku.
My name is Dr. Cornelius Nnanna Nnamuchi, and I serve as the Secretary of Water Resources and Environmental Management for the United States of Biafra Government.
Today, the world is discussing one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century—climate change. It dominates the headlines: rising sea levels, droughts, heavy rainfall, flooding, and the most recent El Niño phenomenon, which has brought intense heat waves across various continents and territorial waters.
Nevertheless, I would like to speak about Biafra's Climate Solution Awareness Initiative. Before proceeding, I wish to acknowledge the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the people and government of Azerbaijan the host country for this year's observance, and everyone working tirelessly to make our world a better place.
Historically, my people have contributed positively to human civilization in many ways, including systems of governance that evolved into what is known today as democracy, craftsmanship, community development, and numerous other innovations. In Biafraland, we have people with innate astronomical knowledge and many other remarkable talents.
It is absolutely right to say that the average Biafran is, by nature, a problem solver. Wherever we find ourselves, we contribute meaningfully to the development of our communities.
Therefore, I have no doubt that when these talents are fully harnessed in this new nation of ours, we will build a greener, safer, and more sustainable environment—not only within our country but across the sub-region.
I therefore call upon the international community and people of goodwill around the world to recognize the United States of Biafra so that, together, we can contribute more effectively to making the world a better place for all.
Saving the Earth and restoring nature are collective responsibilities. Fellow citizens of the United States of Biafra around the world, especially those in the homeland, you have an important role to play in preserving our planet.
Today, I encourage you to embrace greener energy solutions, such as the use of solar power instead of fuel-powered generators. I also urge you to plant trees, avoid the burning of tyres, refrain from dumping plastic waste into our waterways, and discontinue other practices that pollute our environment while we continue to pursue the recognition we seek.
In conclusion, let us join hands with the Government of the United States of Biafra to build a greener, safer, and more sustainable environment and, together, make the world a better place.
Thank you very much, and Happy World Environment Day.
