The Federal Government says it is considering a National Mangrove Restoration Project that will deliver environmental and sustainable livelihood benefits for people living in the Niger Delta region.
Mrs Sharon Ikeazor, Minister of State for Environment, made this known in a statement issued by Mr Saghir el Mohammed, the Director Press in the Ministry.
Ikeazor said the project would serve as measures toward ensuring the protection of mangroves and oceans in the country.
She announced this as Nigeria joins the rest of the world to commemorate the 2020 International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem.
