The Nigerian Forest Security Service (NFSS), Kano State Command, has appealed to the Federal and State Governments to strengthen its operational capacity to protect forests and curb criminal activities across the state.
KANO FOCUS reports that the State Commander of the Service, Abdullahi Al’ameen, made the appeal at a security summit held in Kano, where he called for full legal recognition and improved logistical support for the organisation.
Al’ameen reaffirmed the commitment of the NFSS to enhancing national security through closer collaboration with the Department of State Services (DSS).
He explained that the summit was organised simultaneously across the 36 states of the federation to promote intelligence-driven operations within Nigeria’s security architecture.
According to him, the forum was designed to provide a platform for the DSS to educate NFSS personnel on intelligence collation, analysis, dissemination, and the proper handling of classified information.
“The summit will also focus on the roles of intelligence officers during ambush situations and other security operations,” he said.
The commander disclosed that officers from the 44 Local Government Areas of Kano State participated in the summit, pledging their continued commitment to safeguarding communities.
Al’ameen urged participants to effectively apply the knowledge acquired at the summit in order to contribute meaningfully to national security efforts.
He also appealed to President Bola Tinubu to support the NFSS in its quest for full recognition as part of the country’s security agencies, noting that the service has made sustained efforts to be formally integrated into Nigeria’s security framework.
Also speaking at the event, Assistant Commandant (Operations) of the DSS Kano Command, Mr. Sale, urged personnel not to relent in applying intelligence-driven strategies when apprehending suspects.
