“In the second phase, we planted 10,000 trees in six selected local government areas in the state, in each of the selected LGAs we planted over 1,600 trees in two kilometres distance along the road side”

“This phase also cost the state another N10 million, making a total of N20 million for the whole projects,” he said.

He said the six selected local government areas where Bakura, Birnin-Magaji, Talata-Mafara, Shinkafi, Kaura-Namoda and Zurmi.
