Kolo, represented by Alhaji Sirajo Sa’eed, the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, said plans were underway to host a maiden green economy summit in October.
“This is to make the state, a green hub of the nation and attract local and international guests,” he said.
He noted that the ministry had recorded some achievements such as addressing deforestation, saying that N5m had been generated from clamping down on illegal logging activities. (NAN)
