Herdsmen open grazing should be addressed first. - Otherwise, it won't fly.

State governors can outlaw it in their states, state governors should wake up, Nigerians should hold state governors responsible.

Best news ever since 2015

Brilliancepower:
Ah ah.. before you condemn first appreciate, at least he is not the first democratic President...abegi!!!!

I will appreciate it if they are well armed. Not like enugu forest rangers that were given 2 by 2 , big torch light, rain boot and helmet.

franchasng:
Boko Haram and Bandits have already advanced by acquiring sophisticated attack drones they now use to attack our soldiers and Nigerian federal government is still indecisive of buying drones to combat these animals easily without exposing Nigerian soldiers to untimely death in the hands of worthless Moslem terrorists and Fulani land grabbers disguising as herdsmen



Nigeria military should go to Ukraine or China to acquire cheap attack drones to mount 247 surveillance on our major highways and terrorists and killer herdsmen flashpoints, stop wasting our youths in the name of fighting these worthless Moslem terrorists

European youths died for Europe in world war2, European youths went to Afghanistan, Iraq protecting freedom. You are just a lazy saboteur.

EPIJOE:
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.

You are the only one that made sense

If police can't stop them, why would Forest guards do, it's all political, this is a waste of resources

state policing is the solution
All these terrorists will be flushed out

state police will become inactive during elections, while federal police take over all duties.

simple

Chienex24:
Armed forest guards with ak47 against a terrorist group that kills with armed drones? We are not serious in this country

Nothing can ever satisfy some of you.

Stupid policy. What happened to the police, DSS, NSCDC, e.t.c. What happened to equiping them very well. Must we always duplicate things and waste money?

Why not confirm if they will be well armed, I saw where they wrote well armed... don't be an enemy of progress, bad belle no dey see good.

Is this supposed to be in place of state police?

ogascomax:
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.

ALTERNATEID:
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.

I love this. I pray it succeeds!

You are dull, or maybe you are one of the kidnappers trying to sabotage good news... forests guards are for forests, the others you call have their roles and special designation. Most of you are very evil, you people truly want this country destroyed, but it's you and your other detractors and saboteurs that will be destroyed. Bad belle

Port8080:
To fight the same terrorists that Nigeria Army couldn't defeat?

Nigerian Army cannot be everywhere. This initiative is gonna help in sharing information. There's gonna be quicker response

ibechris:
Helinues must join 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.

If they do this, it is your kinsmen who will still be crying.

If Yorubas say they don't want Igbos guarding their forests, imagine how Ohaneze will be crying.

Is Tinubu avoiding state police because he doesn't want devolution of powers?

I thought you guys said Tinubu will restructure the country?

What of the Nigerian Peace corps, he should sign the law establishing the outfit so they can take up the responsibility of guarding the forest areas.

DMerciful:

You can keep clamouring for state police, people like you clamoured for this, this is not state police but a very important security layer in checking activities of bandits and kidnappers hiding in the forests.

Tinubu is avoiding state police for personal reasons. Shameful

What happened to the Nigerian Civil Defense Agro Rangers initiated during Buhari Regime? will this not amount to duplication of function?

It's pointless if it's not State controlled

I think the statement says that they are working in collaboration with the state Governments which means it's going to be local with federal government backing in area of logistics and management. I'm sure that most state governments will welcome this. This will hopefully be the game changer in the area of security we've been waiting for.

State police is different from this, be objective, and sound like an intelligent human being, forests guards and state police are two different things, don't sound dumb.

Hope the army forest guards won't turn out to become notorious than the men of under world

State police is the solution and not forest grass. WhatsApp for your biodigester construction and installation 08039344310

Do police stay in forest?

With state police, forest guards are unnecessary. This is beating around the bush. People demanded for state police, you're doing crude forest guards

Unserious elements.
It's like this man don't know how big Nigeria is.

Only Sambisa forest dem no fit cover or capture from bokoharam in the last 15years.

It's a good move but not with the current state of this country; it won't work. it'll end in corruption.

mechanics:

Lol no be only peace corps. Solution is simple. Ask the Army and the NSCDC to recruit 50,000 men each, deploy 80% of them to the forest. They should also make sure they are deployed to their states of origin and are well equipped to the teeth.

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

You never add this

Hellisreal70:
State police is what can end this terrorists problems.

What is the different between that and state Police?

May he continue to surprise you till you know without reasonable doubt that he and his policies are the solution to Nigeria's mess.

Vote Tinubu in 2027
