Endvocas, AHI sign MoU to promote environmental sustainability in Nigerian universities

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed by two environmental rights advocacy organisations, EnviroNews Advocacy and Campaigns for Sustainability (Endvocas) and the Abundance of Hope Initiative (AHI), to promote sustainability, waste management, afforestation, and environmental education in universities across Nigeria.

Titled “Planting for the Plant” and commencing its implementation at the Federal University Lafia (FULAFIA), this project aims to plant one million trees across the entire school, establish a permanent eco-resource hub, engage students as leaders in environmental stewardship, and introduce innovative waste-to-impact solutions.

This initiative will strengthen Fulafia’s reputation as a model green university in Nigeria, enhance research opportunities, and create a healthier campus environment, AHI Executive Director, Ambassador Taiye Sasona, said at the historic endorsement parley held in Abuja on Thursday, March 4, 2026.

“We are excited to announce a strategic partnership between Abundance of Hope Initiative (AHI) and EnviroNews Advocacy and Campaigns for Sustainability (Endvocas) to advance environmental sustainability and community development,” Sasona added.

This collaboration, he elaborated, focuses on capacity-building training, environmental education, and advocacy, empowering communities with the knowledge and skills needed to address climate change, promote environmental protection, and support sustainable development.

“Together, we aim to raise awareness, strengthen community engagement, and inspire collective action toward a greener and more sustainable future,” the AHI boss concluded.

According to Mr. Michael Simire, Executive Director of Endvocas, the collaboration demonstrates the two groups’ dedication to promoting environmental sustainability.

He assured that his establishment will do its best to fulfil its part in the agreement, which is to assist in improving the capacity of the targeted audiences, as well as to ensure that the initiative is widely promoted in order to draw the necessary public support and achieve its intended goal.

As part of the agreement, the two organisations have agreed to form a joint board to expedite conservation among themselves and discuss the most effective tactics to use in their quest to carry out this admirable endeavour.
