Federal government should start paying ESN. Nnamdi Kanu has a foresight.

Make them sha train them well to also preserve our wild life ooo and make federal government pay them well make them no go they kill any animal them see for bush instead of letting them go, except for snakes,even snakes self are created to control some pest and rodent, again not all animal inside bush are animals ooo some are spiritual animals
so they should rather focus on the Fulani heardsmen oo

Does South East need it?
I thought they already have ESN manning their forests?
Re: FG Approves Establishment Of Armed Forest Guards by AfricanA31: 9:39pm On May 14, 2025
I think this can only work if it will take the form of state or local police. That's to say only indigenous people should oversee the affairs of the outfit. But if it's going to take the form of federal police whereby operators would be taking orders from above (Abuja) like the police and co, it's going to be dead on arrival

Re: FG Approves Establishment Of Armed Forest Guards by commoditiesnig(m): 10:26pm On May 14, 2025
Very good move.. welcome development!

President Tinubu had earlier warned terrorists that his administration “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.”
Gbam!

This is a good one. Finally the rampaging herdsmen can be put in check and genuine herdsmen can carry on their jobs peacefully.

What is the different between that and state Police?
Police owned, controlled, funded, equiped,etc by each state laws and government that does not have any influence or control of the fg.
Let the military defend the territorial/ boundary sovereignty of nigerian and state police do the policing of each state.
Only the indegens should be the personnel of state police.
With that the problems of terrorists, killer herdsmen, etc will disappear asap.
This will make all Nigerians to learn, to know and to respect the laws of each state of the federation just as it's done in USA.

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.
“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.

Did you read the above line from the text??
The NSA, Ribadu, a hardcore fulani man, will smoke out and annihilate his fellow fulani herdsmen for you??
Something he hasn't been able to do with the DSS, military and police under his command, he will now do with ordinary, yet-to-be employed and trained Forest Guards??

Sometimes, una level of gullibility and mumu-ness for Nigeria dey very annoying.

Na today? These ones will collect bribe and let the criminals roam freely in the forest.

Nigerian Army cannot be everywhere. This initiative is gonna help in sharing information. There's gonna be quicker response
Various Hunters/ Vigilante groups were established and armed for this same purpose, but what have they achieved other than mounting check points, collecting money, and chasing "Yahoo" boys.
Re: FG Approves Establishment Of Armed Forest Guards by Blackdisciple(m): 5:40am On May 15, 2025
Good development but I hope they will not be armed with just pump actions
Re: FG Approves Establishment Of Armed Forest Guards by Agbegbaorogboye: 5:56am On May 15, 2025
A lot of ignoramus pervade the civic space
The president does not have the powers to unilaterally create a paramilitary outfit.
He needs to send a bill to NASS for their establishment.
So I suspect this may be the buhari idea of pulling resources from existing paramilitary units that's about to be implemented and making it sound as if it's Tinubu's initiative
Zombies are daft!!
Re: FG Approves Establishment Of Armed Forest Guards by Unrated900(m): 5:57am On May 15, 2025
Fulani carries AK
Forest guard could be given shakabula
The issues is Fulani are known in the bush as their in-habitat.
They can't deliver
What we need is F16 to flush out bandit
Forest guard koooooo
Table guard niii

Unless it is fully managed by the state. Let every state manage their Forex. You will see how normalcy we come in with a short period of time.
If you want to make it a federal thing, another long thing oo ...
Nice move anyways.

And they tell you that people that will guard those Forest are not indigenous people of those areas?

State police will be a tools of victimization in the hand of political parties to oppress opposition,hope you can see how INEC of each state behave? Have you seen any opposition win elections conducted by state governor?
Though for temporary measure ,if this is effectively implemented ,it will go a long way in curbing insecurity,not that it will kill the kidnappers but the kidnappers will even have fear that some people might see them
