“We cannot destroy the forest because of climate change. The better approach is not to destroy the forest because it would affect the ecosystem but what we need is better consultation with sub national government and security agencies on how to secure the forest to make it safe for everybody,’’ the minister said.

“Those forests are used as hideouts but I think with technology today and when all our platforms are delivered, it will no longer be business as usual as the forest will not save those criminals and bandits but again we need the collaborative effort of everyone.”

The minister assured Nigerians that security is top priority in the Buhari-led administration.
