Nigerians have been admonished to show goodwill and love by planting trees for their loved ones rather than indulging in sinful acts, especially fornication, while celebrating Valentine’s Day, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of climate change and creating a sustainable environment.
The charge was given at a tree-planting event and donation of art object titled: ‘Extinction’, to the National Museum, Owo, spearheaded by the Ondo State Goodwill Ambassador for Environment, Ms Olayemi Olapeju, in partnership with the Ondo State Ministry of Environment.
Speaking at the event, Olapeju said although every February 14 is the day for the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day in which lovers exchange cards, gifts or flowers with loved ones but the love for the environment is going into extinction, hence the need for Nigerians to plant trees for their loved ones as valentine gift.
