Women plant 5,000 trees in 220 Kaduna schools

Some women in Kaduna State have begun planting 5,000 trees in 220 primary and secondary schools as part of an environmental sustainability strategy to combat climate change.

The tree planning is part of a four-day training on Green Microenterprise Development organised by the Women Initiative for Sustainable Environment (WISE), an NGO for women and youth groups.

The founder and Programme Director of WISE, Mrs Olanike Olugboji-Daramola, said that the goal of the tree planting campaign was to contribute to minimising the effects of climate change.

Mrs Olugboji-Daramola explained that the trees would be planted in 140 secondary schools and 80 primary schools in partnership with the state Ministry for Education and the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
