The Federal Government has admonished all serving National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members to plant at least ten trees before their Passing Out Parade (POP) programme.
The government said this would help combat the impact of climate change on the environment.
Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio – Ibrahim made the appeal during the National flag-off of the NYSC tree-planting campaign at the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
Highlighting the Ministry’s collaboration with the African Union Development Agency (AU-NEPAD) to drive the tree-planting initiative, the minister said that the effort is crucial to President Bola Tinubu’s vision and commitment of planting 25 million trees by 2030.
In a statement by the Director (Information and Public Relations at the ministry, Omolara Esan, the minister underscored the programme’s critical role in combating climate change and environmental issues, urging corps members to be catalysts for transformative change through innovative solutions in their communities.
