Meru University of Science and Technology (MUST) vice chancellor Romanus Odhiambo has urged every Kenyan to plant at least 300 trees yearly to realise the 15 billion by 2032 target.

Prof Odhiambo was speaking at the university’s main campus at Nchiru when the State Department for Energy issued 60,000 seedlings in support of the presidential initiative.

Odhiambo noted that a sustained tree planting culture adopted by the institution had transformed the environment at the varsity and the community living in the semi-arid Tigania West region over the last decade.
