Walk for the Planet: Our Power, Our Planet
April 22 & 25, 2026 | Ibadan, Oyo State
World Earth Day reminds us that the future of our planet depends on the choices we make today.
For Oyo State, this moment is an opportunity to transform awareness into action.
FONAFEGI's commitment has evolved from local engagement into a growing movement for environmental responsibility.
Since June 2025, the Oyo Plastic Drive has been strengthening environmental awareness through key initiatives:
Partnered with schools across Ibadan to sensitize students on plastic waste reduction and environmental stewardship.
Empowered school children with climate literacy and sustainability skills through hands-on leadership training.
Young volunteers mobilized across communities to promote recycling awareness and plastic waste recovery.
Supported low-income households through plastic waste collection in exchange for food assistance.
Supporting women in the informal sector through climate-smart livelihoods and economic resilience initiatives.
A community of students, women, volunteers, institutions, and members protecting the environment together.
Real environmental change comes from collective power—the power of communities, institutions, and individuals working together for the planet.

"Plastic vs Planet: Choosing the Planet. Reducing Plastic. Protecting Our Future."
💡 The Concept: A symbolic and practical environmental action designed to mobilize citizens, institutions, and young people for a cleaner, healthier planet.
🎯 The Impact: This initiative combines a health walk, plastic waste sanitation, tree planting, and community engagement to demonstrate that protecting the planet begins with everyday choices and collective movement.
A coordinated environmental walk bringing together stakeholders, youth groups, volunteers, and citizens to advocate for plastic waste reduction and environmental stewardship. Participants will carry advocacy messages while engaging in light plastic clean-up along the route.
Tree planting will take place at five strategic locations along the walk route, contributing to urban greening and climate resilience.
The walk will culminate at Bodija Market, one of Ibadan's busiest commercial hubs with:
Participants will take a collective pledge to reduce plastic pollution and promote responsible environmental practices within their homes, schools, and communities.
The event brings together a broad coalition of government agencies, NGOs, youth groups, and civil society organizations committed to environmental sustainability.
Plastic pollution threatens ecosystems, clogs drainage systems, and increases flooding risks in urban communities. World Earth Day 2026 will sustain momentum, mobilize youth, strengthen partnerships, and inspire citizens to protect the planet.
