Experts have recommended more tree planting across the country as a way of checkmating climate change.

The experts spoke at the inauguration of the Sterling One Foundation Agroforestry for Climate Action Project which was held at the Federal Government Girls College, Bwari, Abuja.

Undertaken in partnership with the Green Sahara Farms and Unity Schools Old Students Association, the project is intended to achieve the planting of 200 million trees across the six geopolitical zones of the country before 2030.

Speaking at the event which saw the establishment of the Young Agroforestry Club in the school, President General of USOSA, Mike Magaji, said there was a need to inculcate the culture of environmental participation in children.

Magaji said that doing this would make the children grow up to learn and appreciate the values of keeping the environment safe and clean, thereby protecting the country and environment, adding that one of the ways of doing it is tree planting.

He said, “So, this is very significant and we must recognise the importance of the environment and also try to preserve it and we must inculcate the culture of environmental preservation in children. This is for them to grow up to learn and appreciate those values of keeping the environment safe and clean.”
