Banigbe said that the partnership was in order to ensure clean and safe environment and to address issues of major complains to the ministry, especially issues on deforestation and environmental banditry.

"By destroying the forests througg indiscriminate tree fellings, environmental banditry, charcoal productions, the entire ecosystem is in danger, creating natural imbalances, and posing serious threats to our communities. Sadly, this is fast becoming a norm in the northern part of the state, so, we are soliciting for your support to combat these nuisance and return normalcy" she said.

She however noted that the cordial relationship built with the police force will also help in curbing the indiscriminate dumping of refuse on road medians and violation against the monthly sanitation exercise.

The Commissioner had earlier appreciated the support and the cooperation enjoyed so far since it has been partnering with the ministry while pledging to work on the outlined mechanism for the betterment of the state.

Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Pastor Abraham Kola Ojo, said despite the law against the cutting and burning of trees for charcoal production, people have not desist from such act, hence calls for the need of conservative effort with the police force for the preservation of the forest.
