Chaired by Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo (represented at the event by the state Commissioner for Environment), the sub-committee is tasked with overseeing sanitation and environmental standards before, during, and after the convention.
Speaking at the inauguration, Mr Anyim said the success of the convention would depend not only on its political outcomes but also on how well it is organised, including environmental management.
