Rodipe tasks Govt on Tree Planting

New Telegraph reports that the Chairman of Bisrod Furniture Nigeria Limited and evergreen tree planter, Giwa Bisi Rodipe, has appealed to both federal and state governments to invest more in tree planting for climate amelioration, wildlife habitat, aesthetic and commercial values.

Rodipe, who spoke recently in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, at the inauguration of his state-of-the-art Bisrod Mechanical Kiln Seasoning Plant, said with the inauguration of the multimillion naira project, the company was set to further sharpen its policy advocacy machinery to sustain and improve on its quality service delivery to the Nigerian populace and the international market.

He said if both the federal and state governments that are the chief custodian of landmass and forest reserves could give tree planting the much needed attention by investing heavily in it, tree planting would not only be another major source of revenue for the country, but would also provide job opportunities to millions of Nigerians.
