Katsina Targets 11m Trees by 2030 as Governor Radda Launches Statewide Greening Campaign
Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State has launched a statewide tree-planting campaign, known as the Katsina-One-Tree Initiative (KT1T), with the goal of planting and nurturing 11 million trees by 2030. The initiative aims to combat desertification, restore degraded lands, and strengthen climate resilience across all 34 local government areas and 6,652 Climate Intervention Areas in the state.
Speaking at the initiative's launch in Ladanawa, Radda emphasized that the success of the programme would be measured by the survival and maturity of the planted trees, rather than the number of seedlings distributed. The governor stressed that environmental protection is essential for agricultural productivity, food security, and sustainable development, warning that desertification, climate change, and flooding pose significant threats to livelihoods and community stability.
