Army Task Force Begins Tree Planting Campaign

The Joint Task Force Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) has launched a tree-planting campaign, donated relief items to an orphanage, and distributed wheelchairs to persons with physical disabilities to strengthen non-kinetic approaches to peacebuilding in Plateau State.

Sector One of the Operation organised the event, which was held over the weekend at Government College, Jos.

At the event, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3 Division, Nigerian Army, and commander of OPEP, Major General Folunsho Oyinlola, said the initiative underscored the military’s commitment not only to securing life and property but also to enhancing community well-being and saving the environment.

“This exercise reflects one of the non-kinetic activities of our operations designed to win the hearts and minds of the people while promoting their health and overall quality of life,”

“Beyond beautifying the environment, trees provide oxygen, reduce erosion, and mitigate the effects of climate change.
