At the request of Ethiopia’s Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, Vice President Kashim Shettima has flown from Abuja, Nigeria, to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for an official State visit.
Shettima will take part in the official launch of Ethiopia’s flagship Green Legacy Programme, a statement from his spokesman Stanley Nkwocha during the visit.
The planting of 20 billion tree seedlings over a four-year period is a goal of the program, which is intended to combat deforestation, increase biodiversity, and reduce climate change’s negative effects.
The Vice President will also take a strategic tour of important industrialized regions and integrated agricultural facilities in some of Ethiopia to further strengthen bilateral ties in agriculture and industrial development.
The statement read, “These include the Adama Industrial Zone, Mojo Poultry Farm, Shera Dibandiba Mojo Family Integrated Farm, Lume Avocado Nursery Site, and Bishoftu Pea Youth Farm.”
