Lagos to establish environment conservation clubs in schools

Lagos—The Department of Conservation and Ecology in the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment, on Monday said that environment conservation clubs should be established in all schools in the state, to ensure a healthy environment.

Mrs Titilayo Raji, Head, Department of Conservation and Ecology, spoke  on the sidelines of the inauguration of the conservation club at the Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba.

She said that the establishment of such clubs in Lagos State schools would further complement government’s efforts in ensuring healthy environment.

Raji described students as change agents and future leaders, who were in a better position to sensitise members of their families on the need to avoid depleting resources of their environment.
