Anambra govt Integrates Forest Security into State Architecture

Anambra State is strengthening its security apparatus with the training of Nigeria Forest Security Service (NFSS) operatives.

Governor Charles Soludo  approved the training as part of the state’s forthcoming Udo Ga Achi security operations.

Dr. John Metchie, Deputy Commander-General of NHFSS in charge of Intelligence said NFSS will be integrated into the state’s security architecture, enhancing efforts to address insecurity.

Metchie disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday while expressing confidence that with the forest guards working in partnership with other security agents, Anambra forests and bushes would be rescued from unknown gunmen.

He commended the governer for initiating the Udo Ga Achi Security Operations in Anambra, describing it as a right step taken in the right direction.

According to him, Anambra is coming back to be the safest state in Nigeria with such courageous move by the governor.

“By involving forest guards in the mission to reclaim Anambra from criminals, people will definitely see a positive change in the polity,” he said.

Metchie also admonished other South East governors to borrow a leaf from Soludo’s security strategy by involving forest guards in their security operations in securing the forests and bushes from malignant forces and criminal elements.
