In a heartwarming video, the man, @farmer.olufad, noted that he remembers planting a tree in his school back then.
He said when he visited the place in 2025, the tree which was assigned to him was still there standing.
His words:
"From secondary school days in 2009. When I headed the Climate Change Club founded by Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, all we wanted was to plant a tree and win a prize. I didn’t win anything then, but I gained something bigger: purpose. 15 years later, I visited my alma mater… and my Gmelina arborea is STILL standing tall. Proof that impacts outlives applause. I thought I wanted medicine, but God planted forestry in me. And today, I’m grateful for the journey. Visionary leaders plant seeds, but time reveals their value."
He hugged the tree and said it makes him proud to know that he was the one who planted the tree.
