Determined to restore the fast disappearing forest belt in Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki has canvassed the support of private investors for the Edo State Oil Palm Programme (ESOPP).
Speaking in Benin during the commemoration of Mother Earth Day, Governor Obaseki reminded of the need to restore the earth and ensure the survival of the ecosystem that supports life and living.
He said: “In Edo State, we are committed to protecting our flora and fauna, ensuring that concerted efforts are made to protect biodiversity and sustain our unique ecosystem.”
He noted that the state sits on an exquisite rainforest belt, which affords it the opportunity of exploring the production of cash crops, adding that it will not sacrifice the needs of its communities in the pursuit of commercial gains.
