In May 2017, we had a trip in collaboration with ISEC NIGERIA to BIBO OLUWA SECONDARY SCHOOL ILESHA, OSUN STATE where approximately 800 leaders and environmental soldiers were trained after which they were led to tree planting exercise within the school farm and Environment.
We engaged approximately 400 Students of KINGDOM HERITAGE MODEL SCHOOL, ILE-IFE in exciting hours of climate education. The students were taught basic facts about the environment including the rate of deforestation in the country, the importance of recycling and environmental conservation, the growing crisis of climate change, and the role that everyone can play in helping to solve ecological problems at local, national and global levels. After the lessons, staff and students participated in tree planting exercises and all vowed to take the message of climate action back to their communities.
To commemorate 2019 World Environment Day, the premier Inter School Tree planting competition moved to Community Government Middle School, Ota-Efun Osogbo, Osun State Nigeria where students were shown the concept behind today’s event by imparting into them the knowledge on Air pollution and climate change after which they were led into Tree planting being part of the measures to combat the aforementioned ecological issues, it was such a great moment to see the staff and students jubilating after the event.
Special thanks to Professor Chukwumerije Okereke, University of Reading and Coordinating Lead Author IPCC WgIII AR6 who sponsored the move.
