The State Team Lead of the organisation, Mr Ahmad Ilallah, who made the disclosure in an interview in Dutse, the state capital, on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, said 1,000 seedlings were planted in each of the three local governments to mitigate the devastating effects of climate change.

According to him, the seedlings planted are neem, sandal and Jatropha, which are resilient species to protect the environment against the adverse effects of the climate change in the benefiting areas.

Ilallah said the CSO also sensitisised the communities on climate change to enable the residents know how to protect their environment.

He, therefore, urged the benefiting councils to help nurture the plants to maturity in their own best interest.
