Enugu Born Michael Odenigbo Sets To Plant 27000 Moringa Trees In Attempt To Break The Guinness World Record For The Most Trees Planted By An Individual In 24 Hours
The latest development coming from Enugu state has shown that a young committed youth by name Michael Odenigbo have set to make a new record with the Guinness World Record.
Odenigbo has made this known through some posts he made via his social media handles, where he informed his followers of his intentions, then approval to try by GWR. Odenigbo will break the previous record of planting 23,060 trees, the highest to be planted by an individual in 24 hours. He made his post stating reasons he intends to plant Moringa trees, stating that Moringa is medicinal and environmentally beneficial and friendly.
Through his calls for support, Odenigbo’s quest to oust the current holder, Antoine Moses, a Canadian has since gathered momentum within and outside Enugu State. He also wrote his reasons for making the choice of Moringa planting. He wrote;
I am set to plant 27,000 Moringa trees in Enugu State, Nigeria, in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most trees planted by an individual in 24 hours.
Why Moringa?
After conducting extensive research, I am pleased to announce that the Moringa Oleifera tree has been selected for this project. Here’s why:
Environmental Benefits:
The Moringa tree is one of the most environmentally friendly trees, second only to bamboo, due to its remarkable carbon sequestration capacity. A mature Moringa tree can absorb up to 80 kg of carbon per year.
Economic Value:
Moringa trees are also highly economically valuable, with a global market worth approximately $16.37 billion.
The leaves are in high demand for the production of; food, Modern and herbal medicines, Cosmetic products, Animal feed supplement and Fertilizer, etc.
The seeds are used to produce; Vegetable cooking oil, Machine oil, Perfume oil, Skin and hair care products, Animal feed supplement, Fertilizer, Water purification products etc.

This project aims to;
Combat Climate Change:
By planting a large number of Moringa trees, we can significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions and adding to the carbon credit of the state and the nation at large.
Economic Impact:
We believe that Moringa trees can generate economic benefits for the local community and beyond. This will be achieved through job creation and profit generation from the byproducts of the trees.
Research Opportunities:
This project also has the potential to enhance medical, agricultural, and industrial research in Southeast Nigeria and the nation at large.
Remember, Enugu State University of Science and Technology has kindly allocated 4 hectares of land for this project.
Join us on June 5th-6th, 2025, as we embark on this groundbreaking record attempt.
Let’s work together to make a positive impact on the environment and the economy.
The most trees planted by an individual in 24 hours is 23,060, and was achieved by Antoine Moses (Canada) in La Crete, Alberta, Canada, on 17 July 2021. Antoine has been planting trees for 6 years. He is the current holder of this Guinness World Record to be attempted by Michael Odenigbo.
