Speaking at the event on Friday, Mr. Laryea in a message said the President’s vision of planting trees is laudable with positive prospects for the environment.
According to him, the initiative is an indication of the President’s love for the environment and his question to preserve the environment for posterity.
He assured that the Assembly is going to intensify the tree planting and keep an eye on the progress of the trees planted.
