Marking the World Safety Day 2021, Nestlé embarks on Tree planting projects with the theme: “Restoring ecosystems”.
NAN gathered that the event began on Friday with a tree planting exercise at the African Church Primary School, Ifako Ijaiye, in Lagos State.
The Director of sanitation services at the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, Dr Hassan Sanuth, while speaking at the event, said the program was important.
“This event is created to leave a mega plea on the importance of nature in relation to the survival of humanity on earth.
