A non-governmental organisation in Kano, Panacea Foundation has announced that it plans to plant over 100,000 trees in Kano schools and communities in 2022 as part of measures to check heatwave in the state.

Founder of the organisation, Mr Dahir Hashim, who made this known in an interview, said emphasis would be placed on planting trees in schools so that students would get the opportunity to acquaint themselves with tree planting and maintenance.

Hashim noted that the aim of the tree planting was to influence the massive re-greening of Kano city.

He explained that in 2021, the NGO planted more than 10,000 trees across various schools and communities within Kano local government areas, adding that in the period, they organised sensitization campaigns to raise environmental awareness amongst school children, communities and public offices.

“At the foundation, we have also trained community-based organisations on how to take care of the trees, and how to source local manure for them.

“The foundation had volunteers who served as focal persons in each of the local governments across the state”, he said.

He maintained that the NGO was making efforts to ensure that the trees planted are well taken care of and grow to benefit the communities.
