The Ogun State Government has embarked on a tree planting drive, planting about five million trees across the state and restoring nine forest reserves to combat deforestation, protect biodiversity, and promote sustainable management of timber resources. The initiative was announced by the state's Commissioner for Forestry, Taiwo Oludotun, at the 10th anniversary of the Irewolede Plank Sellers and Wood Workers Association.
Oludotun urged timber merchants, plank sellers, and woodworkers to support tree planting and responsible harvesting, emphasizing that sustainable forestry is essential to preserving the environment and ensuring the continued availability of timber for future generations.
