ASCON COMMUNITY MARKS WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY WITH COCONUT TREE PLANTING EXERCISE

The Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Topo, Badagry, on Thursday commemorated the 2026 World Environment Day with a coconut tree planting exercise aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and strengthening ecological consciousness among public sector leaders.

The exercise, which was facilitated by the Office of the Director-General of ASCON, Prof. Funke Adepoju, PhD, was championed by Alhaji Mahmud Sanusi Mohammed, Managing Director of the Upper Benue River Basin Development Authority and a participant of the ongoing Management Training Programme (MTP) 14th Cohort.

Participants of the MTP programme, alongside members of ASCON management, faculty and staff, took part in the exercise by planting coconut seedlings within designated areas of the institution as part of efforts to enhance environmental conservation and create a lasting green legacy.

The event formed part of activities marking the global observance of World Environment Day and underscored the importance of practical environmental actions in addressing climate challenges and promoting sustainable development.

The initiative also reflected ASCON's commitment to nurturing responsible leadership and encouraging participants of its various capacity-building programmes to embrace environmental stewardship in their respective organisations and communities.

Speaking during the exercise, the Director-General of ASCON, Prof. Funke Adepoju, PhD, commended the initiative and described environmental sustainability as a shared responsibility that requires deliberate and collective action.

"As leaders and administrators, we must continue to encourage initiatives that contribute positively to our environment. The trees planted today represent our commitment to a healthier ecosystem and a sustainable future for generations yet unborn," Adepoju said.

Also speaking, Mohammed said the coconut tree planting exercise was conceived as a practical contribution to environmental preservation and climate resilience, while encouraging participants to become advocates of sustainable environmental practices.

"World Environment Day offers us an opportunity to move beyond discussions and take meaningful action. These coconut trees will stand as symbols of our collective resolve to protect the environment and promote sustainable development in our various spheres of influence," he said.
