AS part of the efforts to mitigate the impact of global
warming and other environmental challenges, the Lagos
State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, and his wife, Bolanle
on Tuesday appealed to the 21 million residents in the
state to do everything possible to preserve the
environment.

Ambode urged the residents to emulate the culture of tree
planting, describing it as the cheapest and the simplest
option to preserve the lungs of the earth.

Flagging off the 2015 Tree Planting Day at Government
Technical College, Ikotun, Governor Ambode said that
climate change and its effect on human lives is real and
that its vulnerability on the state is also real as a coastal
city.

The Governor, who
described the theme of the
annual event entitled: “Tree,
the lungs of the earth,” as
apt, said it clearly
underscores the importance
of trees in sustaining
human life through the
purification of the air that
human beings breathe in.

According to him, climate
change and its effect on human lives are real; so also is the
vulnerability of our state. All statistics and projections
about the impact of climate change on the earth planet,
particularly the gradual depletion of the rainforest,
reinforce the need for all hands to be on deck.
This tree planting exercise, which remains the cheapest
and simplest option, is one of the strategies that have been
put in place to tackle this challenge.

I would like to enjoin all Lagosians to embrace tree
planting as a way of life in order to restore the dignity of
the earth. We must desist from indiscriminate felling of
trees and for every tree that must be removed, at least five
must be planted,” he said, adding that over 5.9 millions
trees have so far been planted in the state in the exercise,
which took place simultaneously in 180 locations across
the state.

He disclosed that the exercise has created over 96,000 jobs for all categories of Artisans and Professionals
