Zulum Flags Off 1.2m Tree Planting Campaign In Borno

Borno State governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has flagged off the 2023 tree-planting campaign with 1.2m trees expected to be planted across the state.

The exercise, conducted at the premises of the Borno State University Teaching Hospital yesterday, aims at curbing desertification and other environmental problems.

This year’s campaign in Borno State has the theme: “Trees for Resettlement” which aligns with a broader theme of the United Nations: “Let’s Green Our City”.

Zulum while delivering his address advocated the use of gas cookers and wood-efficient stoves as against the mass use of firewood from felling of trees.

“If (tree felling) is left unchecked, we may one day find that the whole of Borno State is a desert. We are all aware that we have lost more than 80% of our vegetation in the state to insurgency. All the trees around our village communities have been cleared for security reasons and some were cleared for firewood,” Zulum said.

The governor added that beyond Borno, the issue of climate change and desert encroachment has been a great concern to the entire people of the northern states, noting the urgent need to arrest the menace of climate change in the state by planting trees.

Meanwhile, Governor Zulum has announced that Borno State government will ambitiously target the planting of 10million trees in 2024.

 

The governor explained that of the 10million trees, each of the 27 local government areas will raise 200,000 trees to make up 5.4million trees while the state government will raise about 5million trees.

 

Governor Zulum during the event, directed the state Ministry of Environment to dump its traditional tree-planting campaign by innovating a more result-based model. He also asked the ministry to come up with a working calendar that should be strictly adhered to.

The governor charged them to ensure that seedlings were raised early by the ministry and the 27 local government areas so that tree-planting can commence early in 2024.

Highlight of the occasion was the symbolic tree-planting by the governor, his deputy, Umar Usman Kadafur, speaker of the State House of Assembly, secretary to the state government (SSG), commissioners  and other dignitaries.

Another highlight was a public enlightenment drama presentation by Nakande drama group, based in Maiduguri, on the impact of cutting trees.
