Nigerian Army To Plant Massive Trees, Engage In Animal Husbandry
The Nigerian Army says it is now pioneering a role to help and inspire Nigerians to embark on massive tree planting and food cultivation.
The chief of special service and programmes of the army, Henry Wesley, stated this on Sunday at a tree planting ceremony in Infantry Zoological Garden, Jaji Military Cantonment Kaduna.
Mr Wesley said, “The tree planting ceremony is symbolic and significant, being an opportunity to project the structure to the world and the idea behind it. It’s significant we inspire all of them to begin the task of tree planting because felling trees poses dangers to humans and food security in the country.”
Wesley added, “We have not heard of it or seen it before. The initiative is not common in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are lucky that the army itself has established a department called the Nigerian Army Farms and ranches that is involved in crop development and animal husbandry.”
