Green Fellow Abigail Ngunan Anyorikyo recently led members of the Green Kids Club on an educational visit to the Benue Investment and Property Company, BIPC, to deepen students’ understanding of sustainable transport systems.
The engagement provided pupils and students with direct exposure to the concept of green transport and its role in environmental sustainability. BIPC, under the Government of Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, demonstrated its commitment to sustainable development by supporting the educational visit.
A central focus of the discussion was the role of electric vehicles in promoting cleaner air and reducing environmental impact. Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution. Their adoption contributes to reduced dependence on fossil fuels, supports climate change mitigation efforts, and advances the development of healthier communities.
Abigail commended the leadership of Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia for continued investment in Benue State’s green economy. She also acknowledged the founder of The Green Institute, Dr. Adenike Akinsemolu for creating a platform that nurtures environmentally conscious pupils and students.
The Green Kids Club members who participated in the visit represented the following schools:
Unique Nursery and Primary School
St Paul’s College Ahule
Flourish Apex Academy
Aggo College Makurdi
The visit was described as engaging and well received by the students, reinforcing the importance of experiential learning in sustainability education.
Through initiatives such as this, young learners are being equipped with the knowledge and awareness needed to support environmentally responsible choices and contribute to sustainable development within their communities.
