    According to him, the region has been going through a lot of environmental problems in places like Borno, Yobe, part of Jigawa, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, and Katsina states, a situation that has aggravated the security situation in those states.

    He said the agency has taken steps to address the problem, the rough distribution and planting of about 50 million palm and other various species of trees in the affected states.

    “these plantation are there to combat desertification and mitigate the impending effects of climate change which the country had been experiencing in the past of years, especially in the far northern part of the country”

    Abubakar explained that the date-palm planting initiative is part of their strategic efforts to combine economic development with the fight against environmental degradation.

    The DG maintained that the 50 million date-palm seedlings will be distributed to women and youth inform of empowerment and plant it across 11 states over five years, starting with 5 million seedlings in 2025.

    “Jigawa State, the leading producer of date palms, is targeted to receive 500,000 seedlings within this period and themt it, in collaboration with the government and the public,” he said.

    “We chose date palms for this project because they are an economic tree, and their seeds can be used to produce various products beyond being consumed raw as food,” he added.

    During the 10th-anniversary celebration, the agency will also launch an expanded public campaign promoting environmentally friendly activities, including using energy for powering machinery and cooking, mining, construction, agriculture, among others.
