Wetin dey happen for Naija? You don hear say over 7,000 new forest guards don graduate? Na true talk! E happen on December 27, 2025, as President Bola Tinubu launch this big initiative to tackle our security wahala. No be small thing o, this forest guards wey dem train for three months go soon dey deploy across Borno, Sokoto, Yobe, Adamawa, Niger, Kwara, and Kebbi states.
This initiative na serious plan to take back our forests from bandits and kidnappers wey don turn the bush to their playground. You sabi say dem training no be play, e tough well well. Dem focus on physical conditioning, tactical fieldcraft, and even how to run patrols inside the bush. Na something wey go help make sure say our people dey safe again!
National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, don talk say these forest guards no be just people wey sabi wear uniform. Dem go serve as community protectors, gather intelligence, and support security agencies to reclaim areas wey criminals don take over. This deployment go happen sharp-sharp after graduation, no time to waste!
Ribadu still talk say for training, dem even add human rights and environmental protection lessons because dem go dey operate inside the community. E mean say dem go fit blend with di locals wey sabi how everything dey go for their area. This one fit seriously enhance security and reduce the number of dem wahala wey don dey affect us since this year.
Some experts dey hail the initiative say e go make sense, mix local knowledge with formal security forces go improve intelligence gathering. But no be everybody dey gree with the plan sha. One former Commissioner of Police don raise eyebrow say we get plenty security agencies wey dey already, wetin go be the role of these forest guards? E be like say we go see how this matter dey unfold as dem begin deploy these new guards.
