Soludo has made history by becoming the first Anambra State governor in history to prioritize environmental conservation. Under his initiative, 2.2 million economic tree seedlings have been planted to achieve zero poverty. Embracing a greener approach, the governor aims to plant at least one million economic trees and seedlings annually, with a target to distribute 10 million trees over the next six years. This initiative not only aims to build a healthier ecosystem but also to restore degraded land, ensuring a sustainable future for all.

Soludo’s regenerative agriculture revolution aims to reinvent the cultivation of extinct cash crops. In the past, self-sufficiency was common in households as they cultivated four or more cash crops in their farmland. These cash crops played a significant role in the economic restoration of Nigeria during the First Republic. This revolution occurred across the three regions of Nigeria, with M.I. Okpara leading the oil palm cultivation in the East, Chief Obafemi Awolowo spearheaded the Cocoa revolution in the West, and Ahmadu Bello promoting groundnut pyramids in the North.

Our communities, households, public institutions, public/private/mission basic schools, including tertiary institutions and hospitals, government agencies, banks, and all business premises should make it a priority to plant at least one economically valuable tree. This is a collective call to support Soludo’s policy in combating the environmental challenges facing us by planting trees on our premises, in our homes, on farmland, and in forests. Failure to do so would be detrimental to our environment, which currently poses a significant threat to our existence.
