The Federal Government has approved the establishment of a National Forest Guard initiative aimed at reclaiming Nigeria’s forests from terrorists, bandits, and criminal gangs.

Presidential Spokesperson, Sunday Dare, in a statement on Wednesday, said “the recruitment and deployment of forest guards will commence immediately, targeting all 1,129 forests across the country.”

According to Dare, “the forest guards will be well-trained, armed, and mandated to flush out criminal elements using the forests as hideouts for violent activities.”

He added: “This is a joint security effort between the federal and state governments, and the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Ministry of Environment have been directed to take charge and ensure full implementation.”
