The projects include 3.54 kilometre roads, drainages, culverts and several other erosion control facilities within the university community.

Performing the inauguration ceremony in Wukari, the minister, who represented President Muhammad Buhari, explained that the project was part of he 16 federal government’s ecological intervention projects approved by the president for the third quarter of 2018.

He said the contract was awarded by the Federal Executive Council in March 2019 to Messrs Munaish Investment Limited and expected to address the devastating effects of erosion and flood in the university.

“I have no doubts in my mind that this Federal Government’s intervention will bring huge relief generally to the university community which for a very long time has been stressed by the ecological challenges.

“The approval of this project by Mr President is in fulfilment of the present administration’s promise that no part of the country will suffer any neglect owing to its geographical location or political affiliation,” Mamman said.

Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba State, represented by the Deputy Governor, Malam Haruna Manu, while appreciating the gesture, urged the Federal Government to intervene in other local government areas of the state so as to control their erosion challenges.

The governor, who was full of praises for the Federal Government’s equitable distribution of projects to all states, also emphasised the need for further engagement with the state government.

Similarly, Prof. Musa Kundiri, the outgoing Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Wukari, described the project as a strategic plan to control erosion in the university.

 The Climate Action Group,  an NGO in Nigeria focused on environment and climate change has recently launched a program tagged 'Catch Them Young'. This program as expressed in writing on their Facebook handle is all about involving children in taking action for Climate change towards mitigating the adverse effects of Climate change on our environment for sustainable development.  The project aims at orienting and sensitizing children in primary and junior secondary schools on what climate change deforestation and indiscriminate cutting down of trees are all about and their effect on the environment, also make the children know the importance of tree planting, empower and induce the culture of tree planting exercise in children as the leaders of tomorrow and have an eco-friendly environment where both the present and future generations will enjoy and protect. I think this is a step in the right direction in ensuring sustainable development in green growth. see more pictures belo
