- By Ijeoma Thomas-odia

Pthe environmen­t, according to environmen­talist and founder of LUFASI Park, Desmond Majekodunm­i is pouring poison into the atmosphere.

Reason he said Nigerians must join the campaign to halt the polluting of the environmen­t by planting and encourage tree planting, to reduce carbon emission and pollution. Majekodunm­i said the systems are breaking down rapidly, which are actually life supports.

He made this known during a sensitisat­ion walk held in Lagos and organised by the Urban Tree Revival team of LUFASI Park.

“We should have it in our minds that we are destroying the wonderful work of creation, so we should identify it and find solutions. We can’t continue pouring poison into the atmosphere.”

Project Coordinato­r of the team, Eko Omobola encouraged young people to explore opportunit­ies in waste recycling, as it could reduce Nigeria’s unemployme­nt rate.
