Great Green Wall activities to resume in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa

The minister said that the programme, just like other human activities in the affected states, had to grind to a halt, following the state of insecurity in the area.
Mallam assured that the pace of implementation of the programme would be accelerated in the affected areas in order to make up for the lost period.
She said seedlings and other forms of preparations were being made in readiness for the resumption of tree planting, especially as regards shelter belts and orchards.
She said the assurance became necessary following fears expressed by members of the public that the programme has been abandoned in the three states, maintaining that the mandate of the programme covers 11 states in the northern region, and that no state would be denied its share of the project.
