NIGERIA'S GREEN FUTURE: VP SHETTIMA PARTNERS WITH CONSORTIUM TO DELIVER 25 BILLION TREES

Vice President Kashim Shettima met with a consortium comprising the Dalberg Group and Campo Group, which successfully navigated Ethiopia's 46 billion tree planting initiative. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the United Nations Food Systems Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This meeting is a significant step towards achieving Nigeria's ambitious tree planting goals and promoting environmental sustainability.
Following the meeting, the Vice President initiated a process for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the consortium for Nigeria's Green Legacy Programme. This partnership aims to leverage the consortium's expertise in tree planting and green development to support Nigeria's ambitious climate plan. The consortium's experience and knowledge will be invaluable in helping Nigeria achieve its tree planting goals.
The Vice President expressed optimism about Nigeria's goal to plant 25 billion trees, describing the initial target of 10 billion trees as "a realistic start".

The Vice President's commitment to achieving Nigeria's tree planting goals is evident in his efforts to partner with experienced organizations.
The Green Legacy Programme is designed to tackle deforestation and environmental degradation in Nigeria. By planting 25 billion trees, the programme aims to promote environmental sustainability, mitigate the effects of climate change, and improve the livelihoods of Nigerians. The programme will also provide opportunities for Nigerians to participate in tree planting and environmental conservation efforts.
The Vice President emphasized the importance of experience in achieving success in tree planting and green development. He noted that while having a will is important, experience and expertise are essential in navigating the challenges associated with large-scale tree planting initiatives. The partnership with the consortium will provide Nigeria with the necessary expertise and knowledge to achieve its tree planting goals.
The partnership between the Nigerian government and the consortium marks a significant step towards achieving the country's tree planting goals. With the support of experienced partners, Nigeria can leverage expertise and best practices to promote environmental sustainability and achieve its ambitious targets. The Green Legacy Programme has the potential to transform Nigeria's environment and improve the livelihoods of its citizens. With the Vice President's commitment and the consortium's expertise, Nigeria is poised to achieve great things in environmental sustainability.
