Lagos Goes Green: Gardener Fashola Plants 4.6 Million Trees by drnoel: 7:11pm On Jul 15, 2013
drnoel: Governor Babatunde Fashola of Nigeria's Lagos State said the government planted 4.6 million trees in the last six years as part of move to mitigate the impact of climate change.

Fashola disclosed this at the 2013 Tree Planting Campaign at Total Filling Station, Mangoro, Agege, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, saying that the government had targeted planting 1 million trees in 10 years when it launched the tree planting campaign in 2008.

According to him, the government had surpassed its expectation by planting such large number of trees in six years.

"We did not do it alone, this achievement was made possible because the people of the state embraced the tree planting initiative.

Today, I want to let you know that we will not relent; we will continue till our environment, our heritage and collective property is restored to its glorious state".

"The result of the trees planted so far was evident last year as the state was spared the heavy flooding which ravaged many states last year.

It was not by coincidence, it was a result of our collective efforts at preserving nature to prevent her wrath," he stated.

The governor added that the tree planting exercise was designed with the sole aim of awakening the consciousness of every Nigerian on the unique role trees and other plant communities played in making the environment conducive for human habitation and to encourage everyone to plant and protect trees.

On the theme of this year's campaign, which is: Green is Peace, Fashola said it was in recognition of the fact that the absence of enough green, especially trees, was a threat to the survival of all creatures that depended on oxygen.

"We need trees to absorb the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to prevent us from suffocating," he said.

Fashola disclosed that his administration had gone a step further to import new species of trees from India to plant in the state, adding that "we also brought in about 1000 seedling some of which will be planted today."

Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello said tree planting was one of the remedies deployed by the state government to combat the menace of erosion as well as other ecological problems.

Future President Fashola is light years ahead of all other Nigerian leaders both serving and retired.

There simply is no Nigerian political figure, living or dead, who has established such a sterling track record of beneficial accomplishment and innovative foresight, as has been logged by Lagos State Governor Raji Fashola SAN.

You is da man, Fashola.

Fashola for Nigerian president, in 2015. Ain't no stopping Fash the man. Phuck with him at your peril.

what is the big deal? Kashim Shettima in spite of Boko wahala planted seven million Gum Arabic trees in two years in northern Borno to check desert encroachment. The man is still grappling with Shekau and his boys quietly. Four million flowers in six years and we no go hear word.mitcheeww.

Why all the aggression and anger over another man's opinion? It's not like he forced you to swallow his opinion or mandated you to vote for Fashola in any election..


Some of you take this silliness way too far..

Response to what exactly? Idiocy and mischief? Go to the Lagos State website and see it is tree, not flowers, being talked about as OP rightly presented. If someone has succeeded to fool you via mischievously and very obviously editing text from an article, feel free to make that obvious here.

This is more than just dumbness alone. It is also sheer malevolence and lack of grace towards others. The sort that makes some happy to disengage their brain to believe anything negative said about others however patently senseless such is.

Do you even know the importance of trees to your own personal existence and the food you eat?

Is this an act or you people are real illiterates or just very very dumb?

Gbawe, you can be a impossible sometimes, somebody asked where are the trees and I re-echoed the question, instead of you providing an appropriate response to a legitimate question, you rather deflect me to a website, why not copy and paste what is on the website for me to see or list it out yourself if you're sure and let me take it up from there

Anyway, for folks who know the location, is it the Total filling station close to Valley Estate at Mangoro/Cement we're talking of here ?

No, it is you who is impossible. Do you think you can now deflect anything sideways onto others now it has been established you spoke because of eagerness to believe negativity that is patently senseless?

Why did you not ask for a link from the poster who scammed you all with his thread-derailing childish antics? you ask people to responding to obvious mischief that came with no link and you are asking me to provide you with a link to the LASG website so you can "take it from there" Are you for real? You're not fooling anyone please. Next time simply verify, even if you want to pander to negativity, so you're not exposed as someone eager to give credibility to what is obviously a hoax.
