“Mindful of the devastating effects of global climate change and environmental degradation

in our state, we introduced an ambitious environmental res toration programme tagged

Gombe Goes Green. The initiative has so far planted nearly three million trees through the

establishment of woodlots, shelterbelt, roadside and school plantations as well as social

forestry. Through our partnership with NEWMAP project, we have completed the

construction of 7.5km Gombe State University—Mallam Inna—Unguwa Uku massive gullies

and we are working hard to control others. Also, and very importantly, we are not left behind

in the current global efforts to embrace renewable energy sources as we have gone far in the

installation of beautiful and cost effect all-in-one solar powered streetlights all over the

Gombe metropolis.’’ – Governor Muhammdu Inuwa Yahaya (1st October, 2021)
