President Bola Tinubu has approved the establishment of armed forest guards to secure Nigeria’s 1,129 forests from terrorists and criminal gangs.

This was made known on Wednesday by Sunday Dare, the special adviser to president Tinubu on media and public communication on his official X .

“The President directed that the forest guards be well-trained and armed to carry out their primary duty of flushing out terrorists and other criminals hiding in the forests for illegal activities. The recruitment is a collaborative security effort between the federal and state governments.

“The Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Ministry of Environment have been tasked with overseeing and ensuring the full implementation of the initiative.

“Thousands of young Nigerians are expected to be employed as personnel of the newly established outfit.

President Tinubu had earlier warned terrorists that his istration “would not surrender an inch of the country’s territory to terrorists, bandits, and other criminal gangs operating inside the forests.” He vowed that Nigeria “would take back its forests.”

God bless Mr President for this. This is long overdue. All those criminal herdsmen hiding in the bush to commit crimes will now be smoked out and annihilated.

Your hate, your problem.

God bless PBat

When we see good initiative we will praise the government, when we see results we will praise the government. But forcing us to praise the government for no good reason is madness.
Now we want to see what becomes of this initiative, how fast will be the implementation not just to come and break news for us. We don't want we will do.
They must show working. No be cho cho cho be results.

Finally we don't want to see a Delta man in sokoto forest, or a Kano man in Imo or Enugu man in Ekiti. Every body they most recruits should be recruited in their States to protect their State.
Some nonsense of bringing outsiders into some people's territory should stop. You can't know my local more than me.

What took them this long?

Helinues must this one.

Everyone should be asked not to be transferred beyond his region.

Meaning, north should remain in the north,easterners should remain in their region and fulani and others should remain and guard their regions.

Don't drag people out of their regions to waste away like it's being done in the army.

🙄

In as much as I like this. I would have preferred state policing, to be effective or regional policing. Recruit well trained mobile force. To do this task.

Just make sure they're being paid regularly sha, so they don't end up renting out those guns to criminals. Like the licensed men in black.
Because now it seems everyone is carrying arms except the law abiding citizens.

Wetin de worry this boy sef 🙄


Must you bring South East into this

Hmm

Lol ok

Good news,now we have to pray for proper and swift implementation

This BAT that I hate so much is blowing my mind in policies that I know most leaders even me will not think about...

E.G. student loan, kidney dialysis subsidy, Federal technical college tuition free fees, forest guard..etc..

The guy knows how to surprise me

ESN should better go and apply now.

Not that they will be shooting innocent Igbos, saying they are fighting Fulanis.

State police is what can end this terrorists problems.

Nice
