The Integrity Advocacy for Development Initiative (IADI), has partnered with the National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW), as part of robust efforts to conserve and protect natural resources with the view of achieving development and eradicating poverty.

The CSO also aims to share views on the landslide achievements of NAGGW concerning salvaging land decline due to climate change and poor land management.

Executive director, IADI, comrade Christopher Ofomhi, during a roundtable engagement on sustainable ecosystem management and development yesterday in Abuja, said the role that the natural resources and endowments of any nation play in the economic growth of the nation cannot be overemphasised, especially as it helps to purify the air and balance the ecosystem.
