3G Taskforce Extends Tree Planting Drive Further Round Gombe

In an environmental restoration and beautification drive an initiative in Gombe state tagged, Gombe Goes Green (3G) Taskforce, has conducted another impactful tree-planting exercise, accomplished along the Fertilizer Blending Plant DSS Road axis in Gombe metropolis.

The latest effort is in line with the Taskforce’s unwavering resolve to reshape public spaces, enhance urban landscape, and deepen environmental consciousness across the state, in furtherance of the green agenda of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, more recently dubbed the Green Governor as testament to his support for efforts in that direction.

The exercise was led by Mu’azu Abubakar Garba, Special Adviser on Ecology and Environment, alongside committed Taskforce members and forestry officials who contributed diligently throughout the planting exercise.

The Taskforce’s members commended the exemplary leadership of HRH Dr. Abubakar Atare Buba II, Chairman, Taskforce on Implementation and Monitoring of the 3G Project, whose offered consistent oversight and hands-on commitment to the success of the initiative.

His dedication to ensuring that every phase of the greening campaign is properly implemented and monitored has been instrumental in sustaining the momentum of the project across the metropolis.

The continued drive reaffirms building a greener Gombe not as a one-off effort, but a shared responsibility requiring steady commitment and collective action and also as a campaign that symbolises tree-planting as an investment in a healthier, more sustainable tomorrow for Gombe.
