Enugu State has once again taken the spotlight for excellence in environmental management and sustainability. In a landmark recognition, the state was on Saturday awarded ₦100,000,000 by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, after being declared the Cleanest and Model Green State in the country.

Beautification of streets and urban centers.

Promotion of environmental awareness campaigns.

Investments in green infrastructure and eco-friendly projects.
