The National Charcoal Producers, Dealers and Exporters Association of Nigeria (NACPDEAN) has disclosed that it would hold a consultation meeting with government agencies to educate charcoal stakeholders on the importance of afforestation.

The association disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday in Abuja.

The purpose of the gathering, according to Mr Babatunde Edu, National President of NACPDEAN, is to educate stakeholders about the negative effects of deforestation, the positive effects of afforestation, and cutting-edge processing techniques to increase Nigeria’s forest resources.

In his words, “This is with emphasis on the association trust policy on issuance of Afforestation Pass and Charcoal Lifting Rights by the National Association for compliance of stakeholders to streamline the sub-sector in furtherance to the association’s aims and objectives.

“NACPDEAN is to ensure compliance of stakeholders on afforestation to mitigate climate change.

“We also exist to fast-track growth and development of the sector and to increase the contribution of the sub-sector to the Nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).”

According to Edu, the event is scheduled to hold on Thursday, 16th March 2023, at the Presken Hotel Ikeja, Lagos, by 10 a.m. with the Theme: “Sustainable Afforestation & Reforestation for Nigeria’s Posterity.”
