Nigerian states prioritise tree planting to curb flooding

The British High Commission and the Network of Incubators and Innovators in Nigeria (NINE) launched a tree-planting campaign in Lagos in February 2023 with a view to planting 100 trees in the state. The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) is also planting 5.5 million trees over the next five years to mitigate the effects of climate change in the country.
