Josephine Napwon, the minister of Environment and Forestry\u2019s assessment state visit to the West recently, if seen from a developmental perspective is one worth noting. The objective of the visit was \u201c\u2026 to visit all our National Reserve Teak Plantation and to assess the damages and how we can restore it back. To assess sprawling teak forests and how it can be revamped to supply lumber and the government\u2019s income.\u201d<\/p>\n

The efforts made by them no matter how long overdue or how swift they may be, it is worth mentioning. The minister, \u2018further cited that; she will soon visit the oil -producing areas to assess alleged pollution.\u2019 Plausible.<\/p>\n
