Lagos State governor Akinwunmi Ambode said yesterday
at Ikotun where he flagged off this year’s tree planting exercise, that the
jobs created covers different categories of employees including artisans and
professionals.
The News Agency of Nigeria, quotes Ambode as commending the efforts of the Lagos
State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK) in its advocacy activities that have
resulted in the planting of about 5.9 million trees.
The 14th of July every year is set aside as tree planting day, being part of efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change and global warming.
