The ANSG has a parks department whose job it is to make sure that those trees are tended to and not just sit in office eating groundnut and receiving salary. Trees, Flowers are what makes cities livable. The British colonial government planted mango trees along Old Enugu Road from Onitsha to Enugu GRA. Many are still there providing shade and preventing erosion.
It is a good start.

That is how they will damage that road. Once those "trees" begin to acquire strong roots, they will just destroy the road.

John, you just have to tell us where she's from, this must be one of the few shining lights from Ebonyi state. Ebonyi needs to do more in human capital development, education etc, so that there could be some ebonyi people in public stage like this.

achierosion:
Na wa ooo the person I quote don't know anything about the DSP I have to chip in something.


Ebonyi people don't know how to make noise, lot of Ebonyi people doing well in all sectors and will continue to do so.


From the time of Mbadinuju to this present day in Anambra state, I have never heard or seen where govt is sharing money to the public in the name of "human capital development project"
Yet Anambra indigen is doing well in all sector they found themselves.


In Education, we are equally represented.
