In order to lessen the consequences of climate change, particularly on food production, Mr. Mohammed Abdullahi, Minister of the Environment, has urged national and international partners to enhance investment in tree planting.

Abdullahi identified increased investments in tree planting, technical capacity building for stakeholders, and stronger collaboration with national and international partners as essential components in achieving a robust forestry sector. Abdullahi presided over the inauguration ceremony of the new governing council on the National Forestry Trust Fund (NFTF) in Abuja.

The federal government, he claimed, has taken a number of steps to address these problems, including the formulation and strengthening of policies as well as modifications to institutional and legal frameworks.

According to him, the NFTF was established to tackle the challenges militating against forestry development and management in Nigeria.

He stated specifically that the fund was created to address inadequate funding within the forestry sector by providing additional and complementary sources of funding to supplement the government’s budgets.

Abdullahi said: “It envisages funding support from international donors, corporate organizations, private sector, Non-Governmental Organisation (NGOs) and individual resources for sustenance and to leveraging the seed fund from the CITES permit to carry out forestry development activities in the past few years.”
