In order to speed up Nigeria’s Tree Planting campaign for its Great Green Wall projects, National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) has partnered with Groasis B.V, the Netherlands-based organization and Boplas Industries Limited Nigeria, in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to manufacture an innovative irrigation system called waterboxx. Explaining the tripartite agreement, Mrs. Pauline Sule, who heads the Agency’s Information and Corporate Communications Unit, disclosed this information in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday.
According to her, the Groasis waterboxx is an invention that has been employed to increase the efficacy and productivity of Great Green Wall planting efforts in the agency’s 11 frontline field operational regions. It has been demonstrated that the waterboxx, an environmentally friendly water-saving technology, is efficient in extending the life of trees, accelerating the rate at which they develop, and lowering the volume of water that is required to plant millions of trees in 55 nations all over the world.
Invention was adopted to transform the NAGGW Tree Planting campaign.
The NAGGW communicated its interest by tapping into cutting-edge innovations in irrigation methods for the purpose of incorporating them into its Great Green Wall program. The adoption of the waterboxx invention by the management of the NAGGW, which is led by Director-General Dr. Yusuf Maina Bukar, demonstrates the commitment with which the agency is attempting to transform the process of planting through the implementation of revolutionary innovations, technologies, and techniques that will assure longevity and competitiveness.
Mrs. Sule further stated that the memorandum of understanding that was inked between the agencies was a tripartite arrangement that would quicken the pace of Nigeria’s Tree Planting effort in the Great Great Wall (GGW) region. She went on to say that as a result, economic activity would be boosted, thousands of new jobs would be created, and the agency would finally be repositioned to fulfil its purpose of turning the Great Green Wall belt into an economic powerhouse.
Groasis waterboxx technology will lower environmental impact.
Moreover, in the desert regions of the Sahel and the Sahara, the Groasis waterboxx technology can increase the long-term survival rate of seedlings and trees by 90 percent. It will also bring about faster and more sustainable agriculture through NAGGW tree-planting campaigns by lowering the environmental impact of carbon emissions. As the manufacturing of the waterboxx will take place in one of the 11 frontline states of the agency, this will lead to the development of opportunities and the spread of innovative solutions throughout Africa.
Speaking on the potential the MOU holds, she explained that it has the capacity to broaden the project to other Pan-African countries that are a part of the Great Green Wall. Also, as the country keeps promoting the Pan-African Agency for the Great Green Wall as well as its mission in Africa, she noted that Nigeria is the very first participating country of the Pan-African Agency for the Great Green Wall to accept the innovation as policy.
FME hopes to achieve a Sustainable environment and curb poverty.
To combat land degradation and desertification, increase food security, and assist communities in adapting to climate change, the Federal Ministry of the Environment founded the National Agency for the Great Green Wall. By 2025, the NAGGW hopes to have made progress towards its goal of making ecosystems more resistant to the effects of climate change and guaranteeing that it will continue to deliver the fundamental services that promote human well-being and the eradication of poverty.

NAGGW set to advanced irrigation technology. – The Netherlands partnership will enhance Nigeria’s Great Green Wall projects. – Express your point of view.
The NAGGW’s adoption of advanced irrigation technology is a positive step towards sustainable agriculture practices. It allows for the optimal use of water resources, increased yields, and reduced labor costs while promoting conservation of water resources.
In archiving sustainable environment and curb poverty,all hands must be on deck.The government should do all it can to get it right through proper irrigation system across the country.This is the only way that can sustain enough food production.
The Netherlands partnership will enhance Nigeria’s Great Green Wall projects. Good development if the government of Nigeria will really do it. It also improve and enhance the agriculture sector of Nigeria. This project is a welcome development
This will improve the agriculture sector if this is get done this kind of partnership will bring development to the country advanced irrigation technology is a nice step to take
This is an encouraging development towards eco-friendly farming methods. It encourages water conservation, increases yields and productivity, and decreases the need for human labour.
This concept is fantastic because, in my opinion, it would be excellent if the agency were ultimately repositioned to achieve its goal of becoming a significant contributor to the economy.
That NAGGW intends to make biological systems more resilient to warming temperatures and ensure that they remain capable of performing basic functions that boost human prosperity and end poverty is encouraging.
If this is successful, it will have a positive impact on the agricultural industry, and this type of collaboration will bring growth to the country. Implementing innovative agricultural technology is a positive move to take.
The green wall project is very important for Nigeria. Especially, because it will help in the environmental conservation and help promote better standard of living.
The NAGGW system of advance irrigation technology will ensure that trees planted will attain maturity early and help to the address the climatic challenges, deforestation and desert encroaching currently experienced in Nigeria.
Planting of trees will promote a good ecosystem for us, the partnership with Netherlands will definitely help us achieve our goals with the machines they will put in place
The rate of deforestation in Nigeria is too high.The great green wall project is a very important project at this moment that will utilize Groasis waterboxx irrigation technology to enhance fast growth of the trees. The partnership of National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) with Groasis B.V, the Netherlands-based organization and Boplas Industries Limited Nigeria will facilitate the process.
