He noted that the better solution to eliminating bandits from the forest was to have better consultation between sub national government, the federal government and security agencies.<\/p>\n

The minister said: \u201cWe cannot destroy the forest because of climate change. The better approach is not to destroy the forest because it would affect the eco-system but what we need is better consultation with sub national government and security agencies on how to secure the forest to make them safe for everybody.<\/p>\n
