In an effort to restore land through tree planting, the Polaris Bank has teamed up with the Nigeria Conservation Foundation and the University of Ibadan in Oyo State.

The event took place on Thursday at the state capital of Ibadan, at the Vice Chancellor’s office of the university.

Abimbola Ozomah, the Executive Director of Corporate Banking at Polaris, stated during the occasion that the program was a component of the bank’s corporate social responsibility.

In addition to our observance of World Environment Day, Ozomah stated, “The initiative was born out of a desire to continuously make a positive impact on our own environment and communities.” The theme of Environment Day, which is land restoration and desertification, corresponds with the UN decade on ecosystem restoration, which is, as everyone knows, a ten-year program that begins in 2021 and ends in 2030.

“Polaris Bank is dedicated to sustainable practices and land restoration by planting economic trees across the country in support of this.” We at Polaris are dedicated to working this journey with conviction. Encouraging ethical banking, empowering individuals and society, tackling environmental challenges, and maintaining economic growth are all part of our sustainability policies.

Our goal is to make sure that environmental, social, and governance practices and principles inform every choice we make, from investment to operations.

According to Ozomah, the University of Ibadan exercise demonstrated the bank’s dedication to its core values.

The effort improves our natural habitat, lessens carbon footprint, and is in line with World Environment Day. The public’s understanding of the value of environmental preservation is to be increased.

It is impossible to overstate the advantages of the tree-planting campaign. In addition to preventing soil erosion and improving general environmental health, it makes a substantial contribution to the restoration of graded areas. She went on.

In response, Vice Chancellor Kayode Adebowale, who was accompanied by Registrar Ganiyu Saliu, stated, “We have seen that there are problems with our environment, and previous governments have attempted to address the problem of environmental deterioration.

“I will not sugarcoat the fact that the majority of my efforts have been devoted to merely pointing the finger at the problems. We are fixing the difficulties through a tripartite connection method as a result.
