Convinced it’s is key to bolster forest security and environmental protection, the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, has approved the restructuring of the state’s Forest Guard system, including a new minimum wage of ₦80,000 for personnel.

This, Mbah stated, aligns with the newly adopted state-wide minimum wage for workers and part of a broader initiative to enhance the operational capacity and welfare of forest security operatives.

According to a statement by the Governor’s media aide, Mr. Uche Anichukwu, the reform also includes a directive to clamp down on illegal logging activities across the state.

The Governor ordered the immediate arrest and prosecution of anyone found engaging in deforestation or felling immature trees.

The restructuring was detailed by the State Commander of the Forest Guard, Akinbayo Olasoji, during series of stakeholder engagements held across Enugu’s three senatorial zones.

The consultations involved Local Government Chairmen, traditional rulers, town union leaders, farmers, hunters, youth groups, and vigilantes.

The aim, according to Olasoji, is to promote community involvement and transparency in the recruitment of forest guards.

“We are prioritizing candidates with proven integrity. All applicants must be endorsed by their traditional rulers and town unions,” Olasoji stated.

He also disclosed that training for the first batch of newly recruited personnel will commence later this month, under the supervision of the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA).
