Tree Planting & Environmental Sustainability Programme — Edo State Polytechnic, Usen
SEAFA's Director led a major horticultural and environmental initiative at Edo State Polytechnic, Usen, aimed at greening the campus and protecting students, staff, and the wider community from the impacts of climate change.
