Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has flagged off the 2025 Tree Planting Campaign in Sokoto New City, Kasarawa, as part of efforts to combat desertification and promote environmental sustainability.
Governor Aliyu emphasised the urgent need for collective action to address desert encroachment, which is advancing at an alarming rate and posing serious threats to farmlands.
He directed local government councils to hasten the collection of their allocations and ensure planting in their respective domains.
