Obaseki Mulls Reforestation Programme with PRESCO, Others

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, Wednesday said his administration is committed to a comprehensive reforestation programme through collaboration with PRESCO Nigeria Plc and other firms in the state. 

The governor said
the reforestation programme was conceived to correct the degradation and depletion of trees in forest reserves across the state. 

Obaseki disclosed this at a Pre-Annual General Meeting Cocktail Dinner organised by PRESCO Plc in Benin City. 

"In our private conversation with the Chairman of PRESCO Plc. I have received his assurance and we will be working with them on a reforestation programme in the state," Obaseki said. 

He said 50 years ago, Nigeria was the number one oil palm producing country in the world, noting that the state and nation want to restore that lost glory. 

PRESCO Chairman, Pierre Vandebeeck, commended the governor, saying: "We enjoy working in your state because you have created the enabling environment for us to do business here. 

We are proud of you and pledge to continue to support your administration to enable you succeed in transforming the state."
