Israel to assist Nigeria in restoring land. With 35 million Nigerians in the northern states of the country being affected by increasingly desert-like conditions due to climate change and deforestation, the government has announced the pilot implementation of a project with the Israel-based agricultural organization Agridev.
 
The Desert-to-Food program will help transform the arid soil in 19 states of the country into arable land through reforestation and other measures. The project also has a goal of directly and indirectly creating over two million jobs. Nigeria, Agridev and Israel, our accolades for your work together on this worthy green project! Such collaborative endeavors as yours are surely helping secure a sustainable future for Nigeria and our ecosphere.
