The Federal Government has relocated the Operational Headquarters of the National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) from Abuja to Kano State, citing the need to position the agency closer to its core area of operation and strengthen efforts to combat desertification, land degradation and climate change across northern Nigeria.
Balarabe Abbas Lawal, Minister of Environment, announced the relocation on Wednesday, describing the decision as a strategic step designed to improve project monitoring, enhance coordination with stakeholders and accelerate environmental restoration programmes in the region most affected by desert encroachment.
The minister said the move aligns with the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and its Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to improve governance and service delivery by locating federal institutions closer to the communities they serve.
According to Lawal, the agency will now operate from the Afforestation Programme Coordinating Unit (APCU) complex in Kano, a permanent federal government facility
