The Yobe State Environmental and Climate Action Project (ECCAP) has expressed its commitment to partnering with the Federal University Gashua (FUGA) lunder the University's Green Code (FGC) initiative, in a move aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and climate resilience.
The commitment was made during a courtesy visit by an ECCAP delegation to the Vice-Chancellor of Federal University Gashua, Professor Yaqub Ahmed Geidam, to explore areas of strategic collaboration and partnership.
Speaking during the visit, the leader of the ECCAP delegation, Engineer Maisaje Ali Yusufari, said the visit was aimed at exploring areas of collaboration with the University's newly constituted FUGA Green Code Committee whose objectives align closely with those of the project. He explained that ECCAP seeks to enhance climate resilience and reduce food insecurity through environmental and sustainable development interventions across Yobe State.
While commending the Vice-Chancellor for the initiative, Engineer Maisaje disclosed that ECCAP would establish a woodlot at the University by providing boreholes and fencing, while FUGA would oversee tree nurturing and maintenance. He added that the project would also supply seedlings for institutional tree planting.
In his response, the Vice chancellor federal University Gashua Professor Yaqub Ahmed Geidam appreciated ECCAP's interest in partnering with the University, noting that the strength of the FUGA Green Code lies in its students, whom the institution is grooming to become environmentally conscious graduates.
"Your visit today has made my day. In the FUGA Green Code initiative, our strength lies in the number of students we have. Here, we are not just graduating students; we are producing graduates who are environmentally conscious. I want to assure you that we are going to work together. Find a place in your plans to capture the fact that FUGA can serve as a base for your activities," the Vice-Chancellor said.
Professor Geidam further assured the delegation that the University remains open to partnerships that promote environmental sustainability, climate action, and community development.
