It is my pleasure to be here at the launch of the Mahmoud Environment and Sustainability Trust established by my brother, AB Mahmoud, OON, SAN.
Let me begin by congratulating our host once again on his turbaning as the Garkuwan Kano. The honour is another recognition of his immense contributions to Nigeria, the legal profession and the historic city of Kano. Those contributions are varied and far reaching given the intellect of AB Mahmoud and his commitment to any cause he believes in
This evening, he is committing his time and resources to another worthy cause that will serve as a legacy far into the future. We are all witnesses to the effects of climate change in the extreme weather patterns that have become more frequent in recent times.
We must all rise to meet the challenge by doing what we can to protect our environment for the earth is the only home that we and our future generations have. The Trust is set up to make impact in the areas of sustainable development and protection of the environment.
I pledge my personal commitment and that of the Nigerian Exchange to partner with the Mahmoud Environment and Sustainability Trust in its initiatives to make the earth a better place for our children and future.
Thank you.
