\u200eSpeaking during the visit, the Director of Conservation and Ecology at the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Mrs Tolulope ADEYO, described Walk for Nature as a longstanding environmental advocacy initiative implemented across communities in Lagos State.

\u200eMrs ADEYO noted that the initiative had placed greater emphasis on youth participation since the previous year, adding that engaging young people would strengthen environmental advocacy and extend its reach beyond the University community.

She emphasised the importance of mobilising residents to maintain clean surroundings and adopt sustainable environmental practices.\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He affirmed that the initiative aligned with the University\u2019s existing environmental sustainability efforts and assured the delegation of Management\u2019s willingness to support the collaboration.\u200e\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
