 effects of

climate changes on both humans and animals as a result of deforestationTo address the problem, he said the 

Ministries had taken the gospel of alternative clean cooking to save the nation’s forests in an effort to reduce the  impacts  of global warming,.

Haruna urged locals to embrace an improved cooking stove which reduces the consumption of firewood and charcoal. 

“The improved cooking stove has been designed to work on a little charcoal which will end up limiting the number of trees to be felled,” he said.

Haruna also said that the organisation has been enlightening the communities on safe drinking water and afforestation. 

“We have dug over 200 wells, and when we do this, our team makes sure that the water is tested and certified safe for drinking before we can deliver it,” he said.

“We have been engaging in vaccination of livestock and other development works in our communities”
