The mandate is very much and we are expected to meet virtually all, since we are a regulating body.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cTherefore, we need the support of NGOs\/CSOs to help meet these needs\u00a0either through campaign, awareness and orientation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We have introduced\u00a0new strategies like the use of life line, mobile court and others but we\u00a0cannot apply it now unless the people are aware of it. Also, our\u00a0environmental law to that effect is currently under review.<br \/>\n\u201cI am happy to have this collaboration with NCSE. The best way to work\u00a0is sensitization which usually comes from NGO and we also need members\u00a0of the society to help us know the kind of environmental violation that\u00a0is going on in the state&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe Network of Civil Society in Environment was convened by the Africa Media Development Foundation and Bridge that Gap Initiative with a desire to bring together stakeholders working on environment to synergize towards achieving success in pushing for issues affecting the environment in Kaduna state.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Its members are drawn from the civil\u00a0Society, Media, Academia and Professional bodies.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coalition Partners KEPA on Kaduna Environment Zainab Tanimu Kaduna, North-West, NIGERIA To galvanize effort towards salvaging the deteriorating Kaduna environment, the Network of Civil Society in Environment (NCSE) during the week had a meeting with Kaduna State Environmental Protection Authority (KEPA).
