to address\u00a0the impact posed by the drying\u00a0up of the lake.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Minister made the call at the\u00a0opening ceremony of the African\u00a0Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions\u00a0Working Group on Environmental\u00a0Audit, AFROSAI WGEA, on\u00a0Tuesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mohammed noted that except

the\u00a0Federation, Mrs. Florence Anyanwu,\u00a0noted that failure of member states of\u00a0Lake Chad Basin Commission, LCBC,\u00a0to implement past reports on the state\u00a0of Lake is responsible
