The Ogun State government has concluded plans to distribute free seedlings of Teak, Gmelina and other species of trees to individuals and residents of the State in order to effect the climate change and environmental degradation.
The State Commissioner for Forestry, Chief KolawoleLawal, made this known while addressing stakeholders during an official visit to Sagamu, Iperu, Ago-Iwoye and Owode-Egba forest ranges.
Chief Lawal said planting of trees was a crucial in sustaining the eco- system as the benefits derivable from planting trees was immense and vital to human survival, adding that apart from its economic importance, the effects of climate change would be mitigated with a significant reduction in carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere through gaseous exchange.
