Plant A Tree

The plant a Tree campaign in Port Harcourt is a response to the depopulation of trees in the city that have turned vast areas into 'Concrete Jungles". A drive from Wimpey Junction to Iwofe Jetty will show not more than 5 trees for an area that was swampy and hosted a deep vegetation.

The city of Port Harcourt is located in the Niger Delta that replete with with pollution arsing from hydro carbon activities like oil spills and flaring of gas, the most impactful on the city of Port Harcourt is the heavy presence of particulate matter or Soot in the air arising from the activities of illegal artisinal refining of crude oil.

The capital intensive nature of the project have cause me to join groups like the Boyz Company of Nigeria and the Rivers State Sustainable Agency to work towards the planting of the initial 1000 trees before the end of 2017.
