He said it will emancipate and bring succour to the downtrodden who have suffered as a result of land degradation in the Northern region of Nigeria, and will also bring relief to those living on the corridor of the Sahara Desert.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The NPC disclosed this recently during a hybrid welcome reception
