Katsina, Nigeria: In a decisive move to protect sensitive and strategic forest areas, Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, Ph.D., has approved the report from an Investigative Committee that identified illegal allocation of these lands as farmlands. Following the approval, a Whitepaper has been issued, and a Committee has been established to implement the recommendations.
The state government has taken firm steps to address this issue:
