The management of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital has said that it remains committed to planting over 10,000 trees as part of its efforts to enhance ecosystem and fight climate change following recent flood in the Maiduguri and its environs.

The Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof Ahmed Ahijo made this known during the flag-off of tree planting at the UMTH at the weekend.

In his address, the CMD said that the recent floods disaster underscored the urgent need to address climate-induced loss and damage, a challenge becoming increasingly prevalent in the state and the country.

“We have planted so far almost 1,500 trees, and we’re looking forward to work with our partners to make it to 10,000 trees. I believe, by the time that we do, and not only in the UMTH, we are going to extend it to so many outreach centers that we have outside and within Maiduguri.

He noted that the move is a step towards addressing environmental challenges in the state, ravaged by desertification and insurgency.

“UMTH is a big institution, and everybody is going to smile. Most importantly, if you plant a tree, look after the tree. Ownership of the tree is what we emphasize on it,”he said. “This will singular act is timely and it is going a long way to recharge the environmental degradation,”.
