Tinubu Approves 1,000 Forest Guards for Katsina Security

President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards to strengthen security operations in Katsina State. This decision was disclosed by Radda during a meeting with Islamic clerics and stakeholders at the Government House in Katsina.

The recruitment is part of ongoing efforts by the Katsina State Government to address insecurity in the region. Radda emphasized the importance of community involvement in combating crime, noting that local residents often provide logistical support to criminal groups.

The initiative aims to sensitize the entire community to play an active role in security efforts. The newly approved forest guards will work alongside conventional security agencies and community watch groups to monitor remote forest areas.

Radda expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for approving the request to recruit 1,000 able-bodied men and women, who will receive adequate training and equipment to enhance their effectiveness in this role.
