The Federal Government has said that it would enhance the country\u2019s security architecture to recover the nation\u2019s forest.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Environment, Balarebe Lawal, revealed this at a top management retreat held in Kaduna, on Thursday<\/p>\n
The retreat has as its theme: \u2018Policy Embodiment and Prioritization of Key Action for a Renewed Hope in Environmental Management\u2019.<\/p>\n
The minister said the forests have become habitation grounds for bandits, poachers and kidnappers, hence slowing down the nation\u2019s progress on its Great Green Wall Project.<\/p>\n
Lawal said, \u201cThe nation\u2019s wealth is threatened through the forest from oil theft, illegal mining activities and slowing the Great Green Wall Project of controlling desertification.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government in support of the president is working on measures to get security forces, and forest guards to flush them out while ensuring community engagement, and international collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to him, the retreat was necessary to collectively brainstorm strategies to address pressing issues about the operations of the Ministry now and in the coming years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have signed a performance bond with Mr. President on 18-point deliverables in the priority areas that relate to our mandates so, most of our deliberations would be centred around the deliverables which is also in line with the 8-point Agenda of this Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n
The minister called on all the participants to put into use the knowledge acquired at the retreat while carrying out their duties.<\/p>\n
