According to the Communication/Marketing Chairperson - Lion Sylvia Effah, the exercise which was conducted in collaboration with the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency was not only to mitigate climate change, but to beautify the environment. She said there was need for deliberate and concerted effort at changing the mentality of the people towards climate change in order to save lives and the environment at large. 

"Part of our strategy in attempting to save our environment and to curb the surge of climate change is by tree planting, it’s been proven, it’s been seen.

“We acknowledge that we must sustain this as our own contribution towards maintaining a sustainable environment. We are intentional and very proactive in our resolve to take back our environment.

“We have planned to ensure we plant a lot of trees this year and monitor their growth while we sustain or improve this number every year to keep ourselves alive. For all of us to have taken out time to have come out this morning signifies that we believe in our tree planting initiative", she said.
