The establishment of the Forest Rangers subunit demonstrates Governor Seyi Makinde’s commitment to addressing the pressing security challenges in Oyo State, particularly in its expansive forest regions. With forests often being hotspots for criminal activities such as kidnapping, banditry, and illegal logging, this specialized unit is expected to complement the main Amotekun Corps in fortifying security across the state.
The decision to deploy Forest Rangers in 25 local government areas ensures a wide-reaching impact, covering critical zones where insecurity has been a persistent issue. Equipped with training tailored to forest terrain operations, the rangers are poised to respond effectively to threats, fostering a safer environment for residents and businesses.
Additionally, the approval of hazard allowances for all Amotekun Corps members reflects the state government’s recognition of the risks involved in their duties and aims to boost morale and commitment among the personnel. This financial incentive underscores the administration’s acknowledgment of their critical role in the state’s security architecture.
Governor Makinde’s proactive approach, including the continuous recruitment and training of personnel, sets Oyo State apart as a leader in regional security efforts, particularly within the South-West zone. By prioritizing safety and empowering local security initiatives, the administration is laying a foundation for sustainable development and community trust.
Yours In Service,
