Kuni Tyessi in Abuja
As part of activities marking the 2026 World Environment Day, students in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja took part in tree planting and plastic cleanups which was organized by Hope Aglow Charity Foundation, UNA Nigeria, and Bingham University.
Held under the theme ‘Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future,’ the events led to the planting of over 500 trees and distribution of over 300 reusable bottles and waste segregation bins installed in schools.
Tied directly to UN Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, the events combined school outreach with an evening international webinar.
