The recent abduction of school children, teachers and other Nigerians is raising questions about the role and efficiency of forest guards across the country. On May 15, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu launched the Presidential Forest Guards Initiative in response to the insecurity associated with forests in Nigeria.
The initiative was birthed in February 2024, following a meeting between the president and state governors, with a directive for states to recruit between 2,000 and 5,000 guards.
