Kano State Government Opposes APCU Complex Conversion
The Kano State Government has officially opposed any plans to convert parts of the Afforestation Programme Coordinating Unit (APCU) complex in Jambulo into residential or commercial plots. Dr Dahir M.
Hashim, the Commissioner for Water Resources, Environment and Climate Change, stated this position on Friday, emphasizing the complex's significance as a federal environmental facility established in 1988. Hashim expressed concern over reports of portions being transferred to private interests and the potential removal of federal environmental agencies from the site.
He highlighted the complex's role in Nigeria's environmental efforts and its increased importance following the relocation of the National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) headquarters to Jambulo. The commissioner warned that converting the facility into private property would be against public interest and urged President Bola Tinubu and the Attorney-General to take legal action to protect it.
He affirmed the Kano State Government's support for preserving the APCU complex alongside federal environmental agencies.
