Kano govt to plant 10 million trees to mitigate climate change
The Kano government has announced plans to distribute 10 million tree seedlings for planting across the state, as part of efforts to improve the environment and mitigate the effects of climate change.
The commissioner for environment and climate change, Dahir Muhammad-Hashim, disclosed this during an inspection visit to tree nurseries in Gwarzo and Dawakin Kudu LGAs.
He said the seedlings to be distributed include moringa, baobab, lemon, neem, mango, orange, and locust bean trees, which are expected to be planted within communities.
According to the commissioner, the initiative is being implemented under the leadership of Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf, who has committed to ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.
Mr Hashim called on community groups and schools to take advantage of the programme by applying through designated forms or contacting the ministry to obtain seedlings for planting in their respective areas.
The commissioner added that the initiative is part of the government’s broader strategy to improve residents’ well-being and protect the environment across Kano.
