The University of Nairobi ICT staff yesterday planted 120 indigenous trees within the University’s Chiromo Mortuary and swampy area next to the sports ground.

Not only is the initiative an important University activity as it is part of the University performance contract requirement but also the centre’s contribution to greening the environment. The Centre is required to plant 60 trees but saw it fit to double the number.

Mr. Ibrahim Otieno, Director, ICT commended the ICT staff members for its efforts in conserving the environment through planting trees.  He said that it is important for Kenyans to contribute in  small different ways and reverse the damage already done to the environment.

The Legal Department also planted trees as part of the performance contract.
