The Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen has publicised that Ghana's Green now project will provide job opportunities for the citizens especially the youth across the country following the five million trees targeted to be planted across the country.
The program after its launch on Friday, June 11, 2021, has seen many top government officials and the general public plant trees in their homes, schools and in other designated areas in support of the initiative.
Taking his turn to join the tree planting exercise in the Ayawaso West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, the Presidential hopeful of the New Patriotic Party noted that planting five million trees will protect the environment from climate change and also help protect watersheds, reduce erosion, moderate climatic conditions, provide habitats for fauna and provide food for birds and other wildlife.
Mr Kyerematen also held the view that if the government’s target of planting five million trees is achieved more jobs opportunities will be created for citizens especially the youth across the country. He, therefore, urged the general public to join hands with the government to exceed the five million trees which will yield benefits for all.
The Minister was accompanied by the Member of Parliament for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, Ms Lydia Seyram Alhassan, Municipal Chief Executive of Ayawaso West Assembly, Ms Sandra Owusu Ahenkorah as well as other officers from the Municipal Assembly.
The Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly has set a target to plant about 8,000 seedlings of coconut, mahogany, cedralla, cassia, militia, royal palm, and polythia for planting.
