“ This year, we admitted 1,500 students for the 2017/2018 academic session and to celebrate this year’s Environment Day, each student must plant a tree that day which is June 5.
“The gesture is to show our concern in making our environment greenish and protective, hence celebrating the Environment Day in a unique way, ’’ he said.
According to the Vice Chancellor, the institution plans to launch a world-class weather station donated by the Nigerian meteorological Agency (NIMET), this, he said is in addition to the lecture that will hold that day.
He, however, sought for the assistance of the delegation in facilitating the implementation of the plan.
