_By Aliyu Bala Gerengi, Gombe_

On 30th August 2026, the Jewel Environmental Initiative (JEI) partnered with Attibiyan Model Academy and the State Low-Cost Youth Forum for a community tree-planting campaign in the State Low-Cost Community.

The exercise was organised as part of efforts by JEI to promote community-led environmental restoration along with raising awareness about environmental conservation.

The campaign was implemented under JEI’s Community and School Sensitisation Campaign and it aims to reach 50,000 people and students across Gombe State with practical knowledge on environmental conservation, climate action, sustainable waste management, gender-based violence, menstrual hygiene, and climate-smart agriculture.

JEI Team Lead, Dr. Abubakar Gwani, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to promoting environmental conservation, school tree-planting initiatives, proper waste management and climate awareness in schools and communities.

He also pointed that partnerships with schools, youth groups and communities are essential to encouraging young people to take ownership of their environment and translate environmental awareness into meaningful action.

JEI also affirmed to continue supporting community-based initiatives aimed at protecting the environment and building a greener and more resilient Gombe State.
