The Sokoto State Government has announced plans to plant one million trees across strategic locations this year as part of its ongoing efforts to combat desertification, land degradation, and the effects of climate change.
The disclosure was made by Alhaji Mustapha Bello, Director of Forestry at the Ministry of Environment, during a sensitization exercise to commemorate the 2025 World Desertification and Drought Day on Wednesday in Sokoto.
Bello, who highlighted the vital role of trees in human survival and environmental conservation, called for collaborative efforts at all levels to promote tree planting and nurturing.
