By Oluwatope Lawanson.

A leading real estate developer, GText Homes, says it has planted more than 2000 trees in Ibeju- Lekki in Lagos and Lugbe in Abuja to help tackle the challenges of global warming.

Chioma Orazulike, the company’s Business Developer Manager told the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) that the Jasper Gardenier plant was named after the newly developed estate in Ibeju-Lekki.

Jasper Gadenier plant has a very inviting scent that gives the environment a unique natural scent.

Orazulike said the essence of the exercise was to create an eco-friendly environment that would go a long way to provide green and smart homes for Nigerians.

According to her, this is to create awareness for all other real estate business developers to key in to the fact that they have to be conscious of the ever changes in global warming.

She urged government at all levels to create more awareness on the importance of planting trees in our environment adding that it is also a way to mitigate the menace of deforestation, desertification, and erosion in the country.

“Nigerians see forestation as an obstruction on land forgetting the importance of these plants to the environment, such as better oxygen quality, soil preservation, dynamic eco-system and most importantly climate amelioration.

Government should therefore, consider the rigid implementation of laws that prevent unauthorized felling of trees,” she said

She also urged Nigerians to make tree planting their priority as a way a sustaining their environment

“It is key that we do lots of tree planting and start educating our children to know more about having clean environment.

“This is actually our company policy in every part of the country we are building homes,”she said.

She stressed the need for tree planting as one of the most effective solution to climate.

She explained that tree planting helps to stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air.

“As trees grow, they absorb and store the carbon dioxide emissions that are driving global heating

“As homes developer, we want to create a sustainable environment habitable for everybody.

“This is a necessity that is very safe for all which symbolises purity and cleaniness and we also believe we have to educate everybody on this.

“Jasper Gardinier gives a tourch of luxury that can attract foreigners and most especially Nigerians in the diaspora.

“When people move into our homes, they would experience the well being of the environment that has a good scent and eco friendly that they can leave in,” Orazulike said

She noted that planting of tress in the environment also has direct economic benefits which includes; cooling costs are reduced in a tree-shaded home, and heating costs lowered when a tree serves as a windbreak.

She added that homes with excellent landscaping enhances the sales appeal of real estate.
