Dr. Ademola Aderogba, Directorate of Student Affairs, highlighted the urgent need for environmental action in the face of global warming. "We must take responsibility and make a positive impact on the environment to avoid the devastating effects of climate change," he stressed.

David Gabriel, Chairman of the Student Consultative Assembly, commended the initiative, citing its significance in promoting environmental awareness and community service. "Planting trees is crucial for a healthy environment and helps reduce environmental problems," he said.

The project promotes environmental sustainability, responsibility, and mentorship, inspiring others to take action and make a positive impact. As Shoyiga emphasized, "Every individual has a purpose, especially in environmental efforts and governance”
