The Federal Government has approved the establishment of the Great Green Wall Agency (GGW).
Vice President Namadi Sambo made this known yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, during a meeting of the National Council on the Great Green. He noted that the GGW was a project the President intends to use to impact positively on the welfare of the society.
He commended the private sector for their participation in the project, and advocated for youth involvement in the project.
“More youths should be employed to guard the forests so that our investments will be fully protected,” he said.
The Vice President also stressed the need for a strategic national plan and approach that will address the socio-economic situation of the nation, adding that the plan should include local community participation to ensure the success of the programme.
