               Lagos State Governor,Mr Akinwunmi Ambode yesterday thursday cautioned residents of the State to desist from indiscriminate and uncontrolled felling of tress,just as he harped on the benefits of tree planting to healthy environment.Speaking at the 2016 Annual Tree Planting Day organized by the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency {LASPARK} at Ikosi Senior Secondary School,Governor Ambode described tree planting as the most reliable and cheapest means of combating the effect of global warming,flooding and climate change,adding that such was the more reason why people must protect the trees and plant more to replace those removed.The Governor,who was represented at the event tagged: ''Lend A Hand To Save Trees,'' by his wife,Mrs Bolanle Ambode said the importance of tree planting to the society cannot be overemphasized as trees provide oxygen,cool the atmosphere,help conserve energy,save water,prevent erosion,save children from ultra-violet Rays and provide food,among other benefits.Governor Ambode said the annual programme on tree planting was a veritable platform for Lagos to meet the target of 10 million trees by 2020,noting that the peculiarity of the State as a coastal city-state makes it prone to several environmental challenges,a situation which demands that the government and the people must carry out infrastructural development without jeopardizing the environment.He said ''The fast growing urban development areas across the State must curtail the uncontrolled felling of trees and ensure all developers adhere to all the Town Planning and Greening regulations.We must plant trees to replace those removed from vast acres of land so that we reduce the rate of ocean surge and erosion with its attendant problem of displacement of homes and communities''.More photos below.
