Kano State Launches 800-Tree Planting Initiative

The Kano State Government initiated an 800-tree planting campaign at the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies under the “Make AKCILS Green” initiative. The campaign, led by the college’s Agricultural Science Department in collaboration with the Ministry of Water Resources, Environment and Climate Change, aims to create a greener campus and promote environmental responsibility among students.

The exercise was flagged off on Monday by the state Commissioner for Water Resources, Environment and Climate Change, Dahir Hashim. He emphasized the importance of the initiative in fostering environmental awareness and building a climate-resilient society.

Hashim encouraged other educational institutions and organizations in Kano State to adopt similar tree planting efforts. The Acting Provost of the college, Dr Ali Tamasi Mu’az, praised Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's administration for its environmental reforms.

Hashim also mentioned that the college had presented requests for intervention from the ministry, which have already been acted upon. The initiative aims to enhance the campus environment and encourage students to take responsibility for sustainability.
